PEOPLE
EQUATORIAL GUINEA
A Maiden Spirit Ceremonial Dance Mask
Bronze, the female face with slit eyes and a crested cast coiffure, an earring in her right ear, a band of woven raffia adorned with cowrie shells at base to which strand of raffia are attached. 33 by 22.8 cm (13 by 9 in.)

Accompanied by appraisal for Lynn University by LEONARD KAHAN African Art appraiser-consultant - curator dated 4/30/09 stating "phenomenal casting to determine the authenticity, age, usage, patina, etc. However from the one small photo I would venture to say that it is of phenomenal beautiful and a rare mask of extreme importance. Also, the raffia beard also appears to be very old. I will evaluate the mask assuming that it is a brass casting, and old and genuine -as it seems to be.Value: $60,000"
