AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This anonymous artist created at least six remarkable Songye masks, which share this same monumental sculptural quality and the great refinement in the execution of the striae. The main characteristics of this sculptor are the high graphic quality of his works, with clear striae, and the white surface rhythmically punctuated by black spots at the level of the semi-closed eyes and the bird's crest.
