Description
This hand-carved wood mask is believed to originate from Ghana. It has almond-shaped eyes, a triangular nose, a small rounded mouth, and a black patina on the forehead and eyes. There are also carved patterns around the eyes, cheeks, nose, mouth, and forehead as well as a thin rectangular embossed metal plate in the center of the forehead. These patterns consist of dots, lines, and curves that may represent scarification practices that are common in many African cultures. The mask measures about 6 x 2 x 16.5 inches.
