MASK - Anthropomorphic wooden mask, with an oval shape and full volumes. Face covered by whitish polychromy in contrast with dark hair and beard; slit eyes, incised eyebrows and frontal crest, short nose, mouth with suggested teeth and small geometric scarifications on the temples. The beard, marked by vertical segments, reinforces the verticality of the piece, and the top displays a compartmentalized hairstyle. Intense patina with signs of wear, fissures, and small imperfections on the lower edge; presents characteristics that may refer to Central African traditions.
