Description : African art. Winiama, Burkina Faso. Wankr monkey mask. Wood with natural, crusty patina. Visible flaws and considerable signs of use. Former private collection of Enrico Prometti. Rare and beautiful monkey mask of the Winiama characterized by prominent forehead, square mouth cheek scarifications and round eyes in concentric circles, typical of the sculpture of many of the peoples settled in Burkina Faso. The several visible flaws and considerable crusty patina resulting from the many offerings received over time give this Wankr mask a particularly old and worn appearance.

Wheelock Collection, written by Christopher D. Roy and Thomas G.B. Wheelock for Prestel in 2007 Based on. Cm 15,00 x 26,00 x 17,50.
