An object d’art wooden bird mask, with a quality suitable for a museum exhibit.  Superbly carved by Chokwe artisans to honor divine ancestors.

 

Acquired from a Pretoria South African Gallery whose owner has direct access to chiefs in the Congo.  Based on my purchases and subsequent research, I do not doubt his access.

 

Includes a stand for display.

 

For the Serious Collector, only.
