Description

A carved wooden mask defined by its elongated facial structure, narrow slit eyes, and pronounced linear nose. The surface reveals a contrast between dark
patinated wood and lighter pigmented areas, emphasizing the sculptural geometry of the face.
The upper section is marked by a structured crest featuring repeated triangular motifs, introducing a rhythmic decorative element that complements the
otherwise restrained expression. The form reflects a sculptural language associated with Central African traditions, where balance, symmetry, and abstraction
are central.
Subtle signs of wear across the surface speak to the passage of time, reinforcing the object’s material presence and history.
