    Description

    This is an outstanding piece of ethnographic art from the Bamileke tribe of Cameroon. It is a very unusual, museum-quality monkey mask carved from a heavy-weight wood. It was most likely used as a helmet mask during ceremonies and rituals, and associated with connotations of magical powers. It measures 19" in height, 18" in width by 9" in depth and weighs 10 pounds. It comes with a hook on the back, pictured. for wall hanging.
    This item was aquired by my father, when he served in Cameroon as an advisor.
