KHENIS GHOST EATERS FIGURE
IN KAGBENI VILLAGE NEPAL
Kagbeni is a fortified two gates medioeval village located in a strategic place at the cofluence of two river valleys, situated in a fertile area.
During the 19th century the human guards of the gates become superfluous and were replaced with two human figure moulded from clay each named KHENIS or Ghost Eaters, primitive iconographic subjects probably remanants of the ancient BON religion.

HIMALAYAN BLACK CROWNED MASK.
Austere black crowned mask from the Himalayan region, despite the iconography of the item looks like it submits the influence of the southern area, the black dense patina and shiny reflective surface of the mask is something really unusual also for the northern area. The massive presence of genuine local restaurations on the surface of the item will the particullary devotion and the importance of the mask in its original context. It's possible to find a similar kind of patina in some African Fang reliquary heads or figure (Nlo Bieri). With a wide series of close-ups, in Ethnoflorence style, we'll put in evidence the different details of this interesting mask making also a comparasion with the patina of some Fang items.

Comparasion with the patina of a Fang head, element from a reliquary ensemble. Fang peoples, Betsi group, Gabon, Mitzic region, Ndjolé. Musée d'Ethnographie, Neuchatel ETHNOFLORENCE photo archive . This particulary, important, and rare quality of patina derives from the fact that over the corse this artifact was used, the suface of the wood was completely impregned with applications of palm oil, in the present this beautifull piece of art continues to exude that substance.

For a patina comparaison see the pics below. Fang Reliquary Figure (Nlo Bieri), Gabon, Fang peoples 19 th century, wood metal. Ex coll. Derain, Jacob Epstein. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ethnoflorence Photo Archive.
This sculpture was used as the guardian for a sacred receptacle of ancestral relics. The surface of the figure glistens with ritually applied palm oil.
Before being removed from their original place such works were invariably separated from the relic containers they originally enhanched.
During the 1920s and 1930s artists and collectors of modern art were exposed to examples of Fang figurative representation and admired their daring abstraction of the human form. These qualities are evident in this authentic masterpiece, which is conceived as a series of autonomous units of volume integrated into a harmonious and idealized being.
This work has been an artistic landmark since it was first published in 1920 by Henry Clouzot and Andre Level. The figure was in the collection of both the fauve artists Andre Derain and the british sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein.
Fang Reliquary Head (Nlo Bieri), Gabon, Fang Peoples, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Ethnoflorence Photo Archive.
The formal features of this Fang reliquary sculpture powerfully influenced Modesrnist artists who began collecting Non-Western art during the early twentieth century.
This particular item was admired for its balanced symmetry and juxtaposition of straight lines and sinuous curves, became part of the collection of Sir Jacob Epstein in the 1920s.
The shiny reflective surface is the result of repeated applications of palm oil, a process also replicated on the surface of the bieri initiates bodies.
This kind of item were produced for the ancestor cult named bieri, like accessories that complemented a reliquary container. In this istance the generalized representation of the ancestors embodied by the sculpture has been separated from the specific individuals who were memorialized and addressed through their relics in times of need.
