Description
Large animal mask in polychrome wood with stylized bovid head Large animal mask carved from polychrome wood, with erect horns, an elongated snout, and deeply hollowed oval eyes.

The hollowed-out inner surface shows signs of use 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 strong patina, evident wear, and old cracks. African art. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. Export permit from the country of origin may be required.
