Description from the seller

Côte d'Ivoire
Grebo
Wood
Height: 700mm
Width: 230mm
Depth; 110mm

Grebo masks were widely circulated in Paris at an early date. They particularly attracted the attention of Picasso, who owned a collection of African masks and was inspired by a Grebo mask, purchased around 1908, to create his famous work Guitare in 1912, which was the first Cubist sculpture.

Masculine masks with geometric shapes are often recognizable by their long noses framed by one, two, or more pairs of protruding, tubular-shaped eyes, sometimes giving a threatening appearance. The features of feminine masks are softer, more harmonious, and more serene.

Fast and secure shipping with tracking number. Packages are shipped from Monday to Saturday.
Delivery within 1 to 3 days in France via Chronopost, 2 to 5 days across Europe. Worldwide delivery with Colissimo International.

We speak English.
