A Fine Monkey Mask

Dogon Peoples, Mali

H: 15" W: 9"

Magnificant Dogon Monkey Mask with a prominent forehead decorated with several motifs on the head, cheeks, and below the nose. The eyes are bean-like and the low part of the face progresses to the chin being thinner. The mouth is slightly open. A long and thin nose begins on the forehead and goes down slightly above the mouth. A nice dark patina with obvious signs of age because of usage. Professional mount on metal base.
