Description from the seller

Excellent Bakongo Woyo mask, carved in semi-soft wood from the ceiba trees. Natural patina from use and traces of pigments. Very similar and close to the famous one by Cyrile Houze. These Woyo masks are highly regarded for their naturalism, almost portraits of an indigenous person with an expression of power and authority. Height: 29 cm.

Seller's Story

PRIMITIVE ART IN GENERAL, ESPECIALLY AFRICAN. ORIGINATING FROM PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OR ACQUIRED AT PROFESSIONAL GALLERIES OR INTERNATIONAL AUCTIONS.
