This tribal, indigenous mask was displayed prominently in the home and given an important display spot in the library between two windows, protected from light. It remains as it was originally constituted by indigenous hands. Superlative, outstanding paint and hand carved, high-relief, figurative wood sculpture. Wild. Fantastic.
