MASK - Anthropomorphic wooden mask, with an elongated, triangular face, pointed chin, and hair crest modeled in relief. Almond-shaped, half-closed eyes and a narrow nose convey a restrained expression, with subtle lateral marks suggesting scarifications. Smoothed surface with black patina, showing wear and traces of golden-ochre and reddish pigment on the eyelids and lips. The geometric construction and elegant modeling may refer to productions from West Africa. Mounted on an exhibition base.
