Hand Carved Wood Painted and Pigmented Primitive Tribal Mask

About the Item

An interesting piece. Quite unique. We are at a loss to what region this might be from. The facial features are very pronounced and the mask has been nicely colored with various pigments. The mask has some age to it and a nice patina. We are listing as early to mid-20th century but it could very well be older. From a collection of tribal artifacts. Would be a great addition to any collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent piece. Dimensions: 11" high, 7" wide, 3" deep.
