MASK - Oval-shaped mask, made of various materials, with a darkened surface and visible patina, traversed by fine incised cross veins and a geometric frieze on the forehead. Perforated circular eyes and a prominent tubular mouth define the expression, flanked by cordage and cylindrical pendants suggesting a hairstyle. The ensemble presents characteristics that may refer to the sculptural tradition of Central Africa, a stylistic hypothesis that cannot be confirmed by photographs alone.
