Description
This is a rather charming old and field used wooden mask , worn in the Gelede spectacle , Yoruba peoples, Nigeria, Africa. What is most fascinating is the small figure atop the mask can be moved to sit on any of the three wooden chairs, creating a "musical chairs" style scenario. Really quite fascinating! The mask measures 17 inches tall x 8.5 inches wide.
