Feathered Mask - Gabon (No reserve price)

Spectacular African carved-wooden mask, topped with a generous headdress of natural brown and beige feathers.

The oval face is framed in deep black, with a wide cream-white central field divided into three vertical panels by two black bands. The eyes are small round pierced openings, and two small brick-red dots mark the lower part of the face, like a stylized mouth. The overall effect gives the mask a look that is at once mysterious and expressive.

Around the face, remnants of raffia and gray woven fabric, patinated by time, add a lot of character and texture. The feathers, dense and slightly tousled, reinforce its ceremonial and imposing aspect. It is presented on a black metal stem.

A striking piece inspired by the Dan, Wé, Ivory Coast, ideal for a collection of primitive art or as a centerpiece in a chic ethnically styled interior.
