Etubom Asuquo Etim, at left, is a producer, musician, and mask maker from the Ekoretonko (Cobham Town) community of the Efik Kingdom. He holds the Ekpe title of Obong-Nyamkpe in the Efe Ekpe Eyo Ema in Calabar. In Cuba in 1848, an Abakuá lodge called Ekueritonko was founded, in remembrance of the Ekoretonko community of Calabar. At left, Etubom Etim stands between two Idem Ikwo masks that he made. This photo was taken at the Efut Palace in Anantigha, Calabar South (2006).
