"Mask, Baga Guinea, " Carved Wood c. 1920

c. 1920

About the Item

"Mask, Baga Guinea" is a carved wooden mask created c. 1920. Where a face would go in the mask is actually the body of a woman figure. There are two breasts above a hole for the mask wearer to look out of, and her arms are come around the sides of the mask and touch near the middle. A long neck comes from the top of the body, on it two heads face opposite from it. One looks forward with the mask and the other looks behind. The front face is rather nonchalant, but the face looking backward has a surprised look. Sculpture: 33.25 x 15 x 12.25 in
