Description from the seller
A small, hand-carved wooden mask, possibly attributable to the Lega tradition of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The mask features an elongated oval face with narrow, pierced eyes, a prominent angular nose, a finely incised mouth, and traces of white pigment on the facial surface.
The reverse is hollowed by hand and features two lateral holes, possibly intended for the attachment of cords.
The mask shows considerable surface wear, including losses of pigment, scratches, cracks in the wood, and small holes possibly resulting from insect activity. Please refer to the photographs for a detailed assessment of its condition.
