AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Great Baga helmet. The Baga are an ethnic group from the western coast of Africa in present-day Guinea-Bissau.

- Size: width 90 cm x 23 cm, depth 23 cm.
- Weight without pedestal: 7.5 kg

They are worldwide known among collectors for these large helmets with excellent polychromy in basic colors. With great dedication and complexity..

Of large size, perfect compositional lines, geometric, and also very carefully finished in the details.

I think it is about 25 years old..

Mounted on the custom pedestal it reaches a height of 110 cm tall, and adds 1.5 kg to the overall weight..

I do not ship outside continental Europe due to its volume.

Shipped with tracking code via UPS parcel service.
