Summary

[edit]
Description

Note : Holes for fibre on mask appear to have been burned out with red hot steel. Tiny borer holes in face and under mask Repairs front shoulder region and head hole filled with blck substance.

Very unusual figure from the Songye people of DRC. If I were keeping this one I would probably remove the bark beard as the figure is quite beautiful unadorned. Measures 54 x 15 cm
