Description

For Sale - authentic Yoruba tribal mask, used for various ceremonies and spiritual dances.
Purchased about 25 years ago from a dealer in African artifacts.
This mask is genuine and original. It is not a phony piece made for tourists; this was used for, and worn, in tribal ceremonies.
It still has remnants of original paint, and patina inside from being worn.
Carving is indicative of it not being mass-produced for tourists.
It is in overall very good condition, with some imperfections due to age and use. Please inspect photos as this is exactly what you will receive. No returns accepted.
This mask is virtually identical to those found in museum collections, e.g. Metropolitan Museum in NYC.
Will be shipped, insured, once payment is received and cleared.
