AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This anonymous artist created at least six well-known Songye masks that share the same monumental sculptural quality and the great finesse in the execution of the striations. The main characteristics of this sculptor are the high graphic quality of his work, with clear striations, and the white surface rhythmically punctuated by black areas around the half-closed eyes and the bird's crest.
