This is a wonderful Old Carved Wood Kwoma Dance Mask from the Lower Sepik River Region of Papua New Guinea. This mask is carved from dense hard wood and represents a mythical being from the remote Kwoma people. Both ears are pierced and their are holes surrounding the mask where the dancer would secure his costume. The mask has its long angular nose that rejoins the face, round eyes, and the heavyset brow which is indicative to the people of this region. This masked dancer in a very elaborate costume would dance in very special ceremony's. This is a strong and powerful mask and would make a wonderful addition to your collection.
