Description
**Originally Listed At $400**
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Borneo, eastern Kalimantan, Kayanic Dayak complex, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden mask depicting a stylized anthropomorphic countenance painted with brown, white, and red, pigment. The face bears almond-shaped eyes with openwork pupils, a slender nose with shallow nasolabial folds above thin lips, broad ears with upper perforations, and an applied patch of hair for a beard. This mask perhaps represents an ancestral figure to whom the mask is meant to show respect and remembrance. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only.

Provenance: private Johnson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA
