From the Ibibio Tribe comes this unusual and striking mask with three faces. Above the main face of the mask sits a fabulous Janus (two-faced head). This mask has all the signs of considerable age, heavy patination on the front and extensive wear on the back, and has been repainted many times over the years with both earth pigments and oil paint. These many layers of paint are a sign of extensive use in a traditional context. 17.5 inches (44.5cm)H. Very Good Condition. From a renowned and published New York collection.
