African masks

 

Lipiko mask

Makonde people, Mawaia, Tanzania

10 inches, wood

The famous Lipiko mask from the Makonde people projects a kind of stylized realism that is unique in African masks. This is a plain one without scarification or applied hair, but with an especially strong and well executed form. From a purely sculptural standpoint, it doesn’t get much better than this.

The mask is about 12 inches deep and is in excellent condition.
