For your consideration, you are viewing a superb hand-carved wooden tribal Spirit Mask from the Middle Sepik River area, in Papua New Guinea. This was brought as a souvenir in the central highlands at a market in the 80s, and the wood has been treated. It has been hanging over a bar counter on display out of the sun and weather. A truly beautiful piece of an ethnographic indoor or outdoor home decor art piece. Perfect for collectors or a very unique gift idea! Excellent for a Tiki Bar. A great conversation piece!
Masks are carved by artists who received their training as an apprentice to a master carver. The tradition has been passed down within a family through many generations. Masks are traditionally used in ceremonial celebrations or performances with elaborately costumed dancers, vibrant music and choreographed dance.
The mask's artist has skilfully carved the design from a single piece of wood with an elaborate carved design border on both sides of the face and with multiple tuffs of grass tied to holes in the centre of the mask both above and below the face, it has a lovely calm serene face with 2 cowrie shell eyes. It has had an applied blackened stain to the wood to highlight the carving and to give it different colours, I am not sure of the type of wood. It has a metal loop at the top with a piece of white cord to hang it with.
