25"
$2000
This mask has been evaluated by a French dealer as being authentic with signs of use and age.
The Dogon carve over eighty kinds of mask some of which, especially the Satimbe, Katanga and Sirige, are considered to have potent magical powers. Others, representing hunters or animals, are used in dances of a more celebratory or social nature.
