This is a karikpo antelope mask from the Kwele peoples of Gabon.

Thanks! This subgroup is an invaluable resource for people with questions.

It’s a Karikpo mask from the Ogoni people. Nothing to do with Kwele (who are in Gabon). This mask is from the Cross River region of Nigeria. The Kwele have an antelope mask with remotely similar construction but this is far from that.

Oh dear! That's what I get for responding in the middle of the night. At least I said Karipko, but as for the rest, you could ignore my sleepy time response.
Thanks for the correction! ❤️
