AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ancient mask, Toma culture, Liberia. H.19cm

Charming small Toma mask from Liberia from the early 20th century. From this work there emanates strength and gentleness. There is a palpable presence. The sculptor who made it knew how to breathe life into it. The sculpture is fine, the overall piece is harmonious. Superb and rich ancient patina, the back is also well patinated. Sold as is, see photos. A beautiful piece of ancient and authentic collection, circa 1930.

Provenance: Private collection, Paris.
