Item Details

Description

West Africa, Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire, We or Dan peoples, ca. late 19th to mid-20th century CE. A fantastical and slightly surreal wooden maskette of an anthropomorphic and zoomorphic head with a human hand extending from the forehead as the trunk. The wrist is wrapped in a vegetal twine cord. The elongated head has a pair of raised, circular eyes, an open mouth with long lower lip, and a pair of tusks in turned at the sides. The combination of animalistic features and human might be an embodiment of bush spirits. Size: 8" L x 4" W (20.3 cm x 10.2 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Bishop Family Trust collection, the Trust of the late Bill Bishop, a noted antiquarian with shops in Scottsdale, Arizona and Allenspark, Colorado, USA, acquired before 2010
