MASK - Oval-shaped mask, in wood with fibers and fabric, with open circular eyes and a tapered nose with a vertical edge. Surface with dark brown patina, with reddish nuances, and soft modeling that defines the cheekbones. Open mouth in a trapezoidal slit gives a contained and watchful expression. The upper edge is adorned with fiber braids with applied elements, framing the face and adding rhythm; it presents characteristics that may refer to typologies of West Africa.
