Dimitri André

Although this very realistic, authentic ritual piece, shows significant wear and age. Until today no Expert was able to find any visual reference for this mask or subsequent written material. 

Unknown Masterpiece of Tribal Art, discovered at the beginning of the sixties (see picture).

Measures: circa 22 cm x 13 cm x 6 cm

Probably 19th Century (based on external erosion and internal patination) - good condition
