We have a lot of paperwork on this piece - purchased from the McNemar Gallery of African Art in New York City in 1971 and valued at $425.00 at that time (we have original receipt). 61" tall and quite striking. Came from the Republic of Upper Volta in 1961 and is described as a vertical structure with two rounded areas alternating from the bottom with two square areas, terminating in a series of short residual horns. There is an over all incised motif around which a pattern of color has been imposed. This represents butterflies and owls among other mythological figures, scared to the Bobo people. Carved vertically along the center of the mask is a structure representing the crocodiles, whose forefeet serve as "eyes" for the lower mask. Good condition.
