Description

A superb, large, antique Adouma mask from Gabon, 42 cm tall, with signs of wear.
Beautiful polychrome painting characteristic of this ethnic group in black, brick red, and white; the eyebrow line and the protruding forehead lend a lovely sense of volume to this abstract, cubist composition. It is said that these masks form the basis of modern Western art—Picasso had some in his collection.
These masks are rare on the market and can fetch high prices at auction; see this example here => Gicquello
