    Facial mask presenting a face with rather hard features. The gaze is reinforced by low arches, the mouth is rectangular and the face is incised with several lines. This type of mask was used by shamans and was made following the vision of a shaman. They were generally colored, moreover, on this example, we can see remains of polychromy (red, white and black).
    Dense oiled wood (slight lacks due to wear around the mask). Patina of use, polychromy. H : 20 cm
