Horned mask, Igbo culture, Nigeria. Height 32 cm.

Intriguing Igbo mask from Nigeria. It is a piece that does not leave anyone indifferent. It seems to want to frighten us with its slightly open mouth, its hard and cold gaze. Its small horns give it a demonic look. The face is elongated and refined. It is threatening. The sculptor managed to give it a lively expression. Beautiful crusty patina. Sold as is, see photos. A beautiful antique and authentic collector's piece. Circa 1960.

Masque à corne, culture Ibo Igbo, Nigeria. H.32cm

Intriguant masque Ibo du Nigeria. C'est une oeuvre qui ne laisse pas indifférent. Il semble vouloir nous effrayer avec sa bouche entrouverte, son regard dur et froid. Ses petites cornes lui donne un air démoniaque. Le visage est allongé, fin. Il est menaçant. Le sculpteur a su lui donner une expression vivante. Belle patine crouteuse. Vendu en l'état, voir photos. Une belle pièce de collection ancienne et authentique. Circa 1960.
