Jokili mask

Endingen am Kaiserstuhl, Germany

9.5 inches, painted wood

Called the Jokili, this character was introduced in 1782, and the details of expression have not changed since that time. Signature of the carver is on the inside. In some German towns the tradition of mask making is taken very seriously and passed on from generation to generation. As you can see, this elegant carving of our Jokili is in a league with the best of Bali and Japan-- truly a masterpiece. Condition is perfect.
