Description from the seller
Title: Large and Heavy Hand-Carved Malachite Mask - 1,560 grams - Democratic Republic of the Congo
Description: A beautiful, monumental hand-carved mask made from a substantial block of solid malachite. With an impressive weight of no less than 1,560 grams (1.56 kg), this is a rarely heavy and high-quality collectible. The mask features stylized and highly symmetrical facial features, inspired by traditional African art forms. The front is expertly polished to a mirror-smooth, glassy shine, allowing the vibrant linework and the characteristic concentric "eyes" of the malachite to shine beautifully. The gem cutter has skillfully used the natural banding patterns to accentuate the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. The rear side is largely left in its rough, natural state. This showcases the authentic breccia-like structure and the mineral matrix, which also proves the 100% natural origin of the stone. Specifications: ◦ Material: 100% Natural Malachite (Grade A) ◦…
