Item History & Price

Reference Number: Avaluer:7032Primary Material: Wood
Region of Origin: AfricanProduct: Masks
Original Description:
Price now reduced by £100.00!!!!!!!On offer is this outstanding and genuinely old Bobo Nuna Crocodile helmet mask with a baby Crocodile on it's back. This type of mask is worn over the head of the tribal dancer and not over the face as is the case for most African tribal masks. This particular example is excellent in my opinion as it is genuinely old and crafted by a tribal artisan with a high level of skill. I believe this mask is over 40 years old. It is a big example reserved for o...nly the strongest dancers and for special ceremonies. Impressive throughout. I personally recommend this highly.
Mask measurement. 141cm long, 21cm wide, at widest point, and 24cm high, while laying flat on stomach, at highest point which is the top of its mouth.
