Antique African Senufo Firespitter Mask Carved Antelope Tribal Art

  
ANTIQUE AFRICAN SENUFO FIRESPITTER MASK CARVED ANTELOPE TRIBAL ART. Fantastic older African tribal mask. This one is in the form of a Senufo Firespitter. It's a rather friendly looking version of this mythical creature. The mask has a very pleasant look overall.

It is in good antique condition with an excellent, often handled patina. There are holes along the edges indicating cordage of some type had been strung through them to hold the mask on the users face.

It was formerly owned by a restoration expert at a major Manhattan museum. That individual owned an antique and antiquities gallery in Manhattan after retiring from the museum. This mask is around 16" long and 7.5" wide.

I have several other African masks listed from the same estate. Please check my other listings if interested. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Cultures & Ethnicities\African\1900-Now\Masks". The seller is "riverwalker83" and is located in this country: US.
