Description from the seller

Old Idoma mask, Nigeria
Great expression. So brutal...........
Wonderful old patina. And then that red color on the face!
The mask is also extremely old.
A spectacular piece!
From an old collection of an entrepreneurial family
in Germany,
Purchased in galleries around 1980 at the then price of 2500 Deutsche Mark
.At that time already bought as an old mask
I estimate this piece to be from the 19th century.
Mask comes with stand
