Description

Introducing the Star Spirits collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing digital paintings of various deities based on masks and drawings by indigenous peoples and tribes from all over the world. Here you will find framed and wrapped/stretched canvas fine art prints, featuring composition Star Spirits - Maiden Spirit Mukudji.

This deity was described by Punu, Lumbo and various other ethnic groups in Gabon. White face Spirit Maiden represents female guardian spirit in the initiation of young girls, funerary rites, ancestor cults, and also in dances of the full moon. Social cohesion is ensured by the Mukudji society, whose primary role is to subjugate harmful forest spirits. The white pigment on masks alludes to the anti-witchcraft powers of this group.
