Striking vintage African hand-carved wood mask featuring an elongated face, tall antelope-form horns, slit eyes and deeply incised geometric decoration. The surface retains a rich, time-worn patina with warm earthy pigments and visible signs of traditional hand carving.
The form and horned imagery are characteristic of masks associated with the Kwele artistic tradition of Gabon and the Republic of the Congo. Presented on a custom black metal display stand, the mask has a highly sculptural presence and displays beautifully from multiple angles.
A distinctive collected object for interiors featuring African art, global antiques or ethnographic-inspired decorative pieces.
