About the Item

Antique African 'Bamana' Monkey Mask Antique African 'Bamana' Monkey Mask, late 19th to early 20th century. A hand carved wooden mask most presumably from the Bamana people of Mali, depicting a monkey’s head. The form is bold and expressive, with exaggerated features and a worn, rough and matte surface. Small coloured beads are inlaid along the top of the head. Signs of age and use are visible throughout. Wonderfully carved - very thin. Originally part of ceremonial practice, now a very decorative and strong statement piece.
