Bidspirit auction | POLYCHROME MASK

POLYCHROME MASK - Vertical wooden mask, with an elongated face, hollow circular eyes, and a tapered chin, topped by a tall axis with two symmetrical cut-out 'wings'. The surface displays geometric painting in blue and white on a dark base, with irregular patina and signs of use. The interplay between curved volumes, voids, and edges creates a tense and rhythmic silhouette. It exhibits characteristics that may refer to West African plaque-mask traditions, possibly related to Bwa/Bobo or Mossi, due to the perforated upper blade and contrasting graphics.
