A CARVED AND PAINTED NIGERIAN IJAW WATER SPIRIT MASK

Item Details

Description

The carved wood mask with highly stylized geometric face, animal horns is mounted with a coiled snake atop the head.

Provenance: Morton and Estelle Sosland. The Soslands began acquiring examples of African and other tribal art in the 1960s, possibly earlier.

Measures 44 x 13 x 6 inches.

Provenance: The estate of Morton and Estelle Sosland.
In Kansas City, the Sosland family name is synonymous with both giving, and the arts. Of their many contributions to the community, 'The Soslands gave one of the nation's finest private collections of American Indian art to the Nelson-Atkins' museum (nelson-atkins.org). The content of this auction bears testament to their keen eye and varied interests. No property has been added; each lot here originates with the Sosland family and sells without reserve.
