About the Item
This sculptural wall panel is carved from solid wood and composed through a sequence of carefully modulated vertical and curved relief elements that together form a highly stylized human mask. The work demonstrates a strong sense of rhythm and depth, with the sculpted layers creating shifting expressions as the viewpoint changes. The interplay between abstraction and figuration places the piece firmly within the sculptural language of late modernism, where expressive form and material presence take precedence over literal representation.
The design suggests an origin in European studio craftsmanship of the late 1960s to 1970s, possibly influenced by Brutalist and Expressionist tendencies seen in postwar decorative arts. While the designer remains unidentified, the sculptural approach and emphasis on hand-carved structure are reminiscent of independent atelier production rather than industrial manufacture, reflecting a period interest in tactile materials and sculptural wall-mounted objects.

Carved Wooden Traditional Mask from Timor Island, Indonesia, circa 1970s
Located in London, GB
Timor Island sculpted wooden traditional mask (circa 1970s) on contemporary metal stand. This is a traditional mask of a figure with male facial features and two holes as eyes and another for the mouth with a handle below the face. The island of Timor gave rise to a distinctive practice of creating traditional masks whose precise origins and significance remain uncertain. Portraying both male and female ancestors, they were held by men during dances and other ceremonies, including celebrations of victory in war. Carved sculptures and masks are specific to rural villages. Here the practice of animism, or nature-worship, is incorporated with the carving of ancestral statues and masks, which have a ritualistic function. Some occasions that call for these ceremonies may include asking for successful crop planting, for prosperity, for good weather...
