Description
A Dinka Helmet. Brass, wood, and ostrich feathers. Sudan. 10" x 7". With mount: 17 1/2".
Brass war helmets have been documented in early 20th century ethnographies to have been worn by Dinka warriors. Without collection history it is impossible to be more precise on age other than 20th century. The probability is that this was made for sale.
Condition: Custom mount included.
Provenance: From a Washington, DC Private Collection.
