Description: Incredible craftmanship and detail. Original paint. Approx: 34" H x 14" W (at base). Weight about 7 lbs. Masks are one of West Africa's most enduring and compelling art forms. West Africa ranges from Nigeria to the Atlantic Ocean and as far north as Senegal and Mali. The use of masks in this area spans hundreds and perhaps thousands of years. Skilled craftsmen make masks, which are usually carved from wood and painted; they may also incorporate cloth, beads, shells, and raffia. West African masks cover the face or the head and are always worn with a costume. I do my best to accurately describe items, but I am not an expert and do not guarantee descriptions.
