Description
A wild carved wooden helmet mask featuring zoomorphic top finials of a Bird, eating a chameleon, which is attaching a snake, and the mask itself is a blend of a crocodile and warthog. This blending of animal traits speaks to a primordial time before man when the animal spirits were in a state of morphing and were one. Such masks are worn during various ceremonial and ritual events. The mask measures 26 x 10.5 inches. A metal display stand can also be included for an additional $40.00. Provenance: A Private Oregon collection.
