NIMBA GREAT MASK 11

Wood and upholstery tacks.
$1200
SOLD

This Nimba shows little evidence of age or use and was probably made to be sold. There are many small stable cracks and one long one in front of the left ear. The wood is very heavy and hard. The carving is crisp, particularly the facial scarification, and the form is traditional and graceful.
