Dimitri André

Colorful buffalo mask from the Bamileke tribe of Cameroon. 
Buffalos, large game animals with massive bodies, were associated with power, and buffalo masks, worn on the top of the head, were an important part of every ritual dance sequence. Their rank, however, was beneath that of the leopard and elephant.
Powerful mask in good condition with a beautifull patina decorated with metal plates.

Shipping within 24 hours after the payment is received. Tracking number will be provided. Signature upon delivery. Fully insured. 
May as well be viewed and picked up at the Asian African Art Gallery in Vessem (NL).
