Pende

ex Private Coll., BE

 

This is a superb Pende mask with classic lenticular eyes and great old dry patina.    Of typical yet rare design the style is well referenced but seldom seen.

 

A paricularly fine example the blackened mask has nicely varied patina and equally nicely stressed holes where raffia was once tied.

 

Ca. 20th Cent.
