Description
African mask, possibly from the Fang region, Central Africa, 20th century Carved wood with traces of polychromy. Dimensions: 46 x 27 x 25 cm. A mask with an oval face and stylised features, a long, straight nose, half-closed eyes and a small mouth with prominent teeth, surrounded by a striated border that frames the face with a strong sense of formal solidity. The geometric simplification and hieratic serenity of the features reflect a ritual and symbolic aesthetic, in which expressive power arises from the refinement of forms and the patina of use. The piece belongs to the tradition of African ceremonial sculpture, valued for its sculptural intensity and its capacity for formal condensation.
