This strong mask comes from the Keram River that flows from the South into the Lower Sepik River. The mask probably comes off a dance costume or a canoe shield as it has only two piercings on the top and bottom for attachment. The piece shows excellent age and a still powerful expression. The mask is 19 ¾" in height. sold
