A hand carved, ceremonial hardwood mask from the Ivory Coast.  Painstakingly hollowed out to quite a smooth interior finish. The mask is rather small leading me to believe that this was made for a woman. Quite a lot of detail with a protruding, horned  high-piece. Various holes in the circumference allow it to be tied to various sized people. Definitely an antique. Early last century or previous. Excellent condition with one minor repair. No signature visible. $600. Size: 13.5″ H x 7″ W x 3.25″ D. Wt: 1.5 lb. .7 kg.
