This crest mask, in the form of a human face, is of a type found among many Cameroon chiefdoms. It depicts an important person as shown by the stylized rendering of a knotted fiber prestige cap, which can only be worn by men of high rank. This crest mask exemplifies additional power with the inclusion of the spider motif. Ground spiders are used in divination practices in the Cameroon Grassfields region as a way of gaining access to divine knowledge.
