Description
Large animal mask in polychrome wood with a stylised bovine head Large animal mask carved from polychrome wood, with upright horns, an elongated snout and deeply hollowed oval eyes.

The hollowed-out inner surface shows signs of wear and perforations for attaching straps or a textile headdress. This type of mask embodies a protective spirit in agricultural, initiation or funerary ceremonies. Antique, with a heavy patina, evident wear and old cracks. African art. Item held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
