Item Details

Description

This is a vintage helmet mask from the Mambila peoples of Nigeria / Cameroon, the Donga river region, West Africa. A wonderfully abstract carved wood mask with Animal form and exagerated features. Known as a "Nsua-Ndua" mask, There is surprisingly little information to their traditional use. Note the wear and handling around the edges suggesting some age. There is professional restoration to the horns, presumably from an earlier collector. Mask itself measures 16 x 8 inches. Will include a professional custom black metal display stand.
