A very fine and tribally used carved wooden mask abstractly in the form of an antelope. Long curved horns, wide almost rounded eyes, The entirety of the mask is painted in gloss paint, quite possibly of the type used in the maritime trade. The mask was held in place during tribal rituals through the use of an added bent-twig that the wearer would hold with his clenched jaw. There are 11 additional holes where a cloth head covering would have been attached. Provenance: Argiles Collection, Barcelona
