Sulawesi mask

Sulawesi, Indonesia

12 inches, mahogany wood

Q: We purchased it in Sulawesi in 1975. it is about 12x12" and is carved from very hard wood.  Bob, 5-28-11  158

A: I don't remember ever seeing a mask from Sulawesi. This beautiful carving reminds me of Bali, Borneo and New Guinea all at the same time, which kind of makes sense. Hope to learn more about masks from the big island in the middle of Indonesia.
