Item Details

Description

This is a beautiful carved wooden mask from the Baule peoples of West Africa. This is a very Fine Carved wooden mask often referred to as a \"portrait\" mask. Designed as part of a Baule theatrical tradition, known as \"Mblo,\" that combines dramatic skits and solo dances, this mask is an idealized representation of the prominent member of the community for which it was sculpted. Its lustrous carved surfaces suggest healthy skin set off by a delicately textured coiffure and facial scarification.Measures 13 inches tall by 7 1/2 inches wide. Buyer pays for a 5 pound package.
