Dance
Mask
Ogoni, Nigeria
Early 20th Century
This is a classic example of an early Ogoni mask. With its finely braided
coiffure and dramatic face paint this example stands out among many on
the market today. The jaw on this mask is articulated; when danced; the
mouth opens and shuts sporadically; creating a very animated and lively
experience for the viewer. The pigments are all original and the back
of the mask shows very good age.
This mask stands 8 inches in height.
SOLD / IN 2100
