Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: West African Wood Simian Mask



Beschreibung : West Africa, probably Baoulé people of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), ca. 18th to 19th centuries CE. This is a dark wood mask with a heavy, squared-off browline and long, also squared-off nose, there is a mouth opening on the bottom. Carved as part of the mask are two ears that give a strong simian impression. There is a line of drilled holes around the back edges of the mask, the eyes are also hollowed out. The Baoulé are one of the largest ethnic groups in coastal West Africa and they are renowned mask makers. A mask with a similar facial style is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and is believed to represent an individual. This mask seems more stylized and may have been part of a ceremony celebrating animal/human spiritual duality, a common theme in traditional West African cultures. Size: 5.25 L x 8 W x 13.5 H (13.3 cm x 20.3 cm x 34.3 cm).
