This is the rating and price for Dog Mask 'Suga'



Description : This carved wood mask does not represent a single, identifiable animal. It is composed of elements from different animals and represents a bush spirit, emphasizing that it has no counterpart on earth. It is a thing of the bush – and things of the bush are male and ungovernable. The mask represents a hybrid animal and bears some of the classic details of a bovine and a dog's head. This mask is wonderful for its creativity. The top of the mask is punctuated by eyes that have been carved with great originality. The patina is brown and crusty. Dated to the 1940's. Dimensions approx: approx. 33X15X16 cm. Please note that the base is not included in the sale. This item comes with a signed and stamped certificate confirming its authenticity.
