This is the rating and price for Early 20th C. African Senufo Wood Mask - Firespitter

Description : West Africa, Ivory Coast, Senufo peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden mask depicting a firespitter (also known as the "funeral head mask" or "Kponyugo") depicting an abstract zoomorphic creature with horns in several areas. The intricate mask is painted with brown pigment to create a darker presentation, and riding atop the larger head is a petite lizard. This mask was perhaps placed atop a larger headdress as the opening behind the larger head is much too small for a human face.
