Description This extraordinary helmet mask is truly museum worthy! It is extremely impressive in size and detail. Covered in animal skin and embelished with paint and mirrors this mask makes a statement of great power and intention. The people of the Bamum Tribe of Camaroon executed the assembly of this note worthy and collectable piece. Ever seen another like it? I haven't. It is rare and unique. Extremely heavy, it measures 32" high by 24" side to side and 27" front to back. The opening at the base is 16+". The double faces are very similar with only slight differences. For instance one side has circles by the ears and the other side squares. This is a phenominal example of Bamum Male Fertility Ritual. It is thought to be over 50 years old and remains in excellent condition. Signs of age and ware add to it's provocative charm. No breaks or damage other than the expected evidence of age and use. Remarkable patina! This is a serious piece for collectors and true lovers of fine African Tribal Art. The well known auction houses would draw a very substancial price for this heart touching, soul moving work of art! That is, if they could find one! Please contact me if I may answer any further questions. This piece came to me directly from Africa and has not previously been offered for sale. Place a Bid!
