Description
Face Mask, Baule Tribe, Ivory Coast. Intricately carved of dark wood with a dark brown finish worn with age and polished to brilliant reflection. Face may be that of a dignitary used in Mblo celebrations, with elaborate scarifications throughout, small goatee, and an incredible poly-lobed, pointed hairstyle that suggests the work of a master sculptor. Includes eye slits, interior cavity, and side holes for fitting to wearer or mounting to wall. An exceptional work of art from a rich cultural tradition.
Dimensions are 10.75 in h x 7 in w x 5 in d. Condition is fair, with overall wear consistent with age and use. Please call or email for a detailed condition report.
