Welcome to my bidding
TRADITIONAL FISH MASK from Ghana
Amazing crafted mask from the fishing tribes in Ghana, West Africa. I have got this mask in 1999 when my father went to some of the fishing villages around Cape Coast. The traditional mask is cleverly designed in a double shape of fish against each other. It intents to give strenght to the fishermen in their daily task. This mask is hand made of wood by crafted carvers and finished with an incredible metal coate by metal crafters. It has also red material used for design purpose. This quality finished masks are highly used by the tribe's chiefs as part of their private collection
The mask measures 95cm! by 18cm. It has 8 pieces of metal missing sparingly but it is not noticeble and it doesn't affect at all the impact of this mask. It will please very much its new owner.
Good Luck!
