This beautiful mask comes from the coastal area just to the west of the mouth of the Ramu River in Papua New Guinea's Madang Province. The piece is classic with its all-over red/orange pigmentation and long nose but it is unusual for the crisp overhanging brow and the pair of miniature masks on the forehead. The piece is 18" in height, dates to the early 20th century. sold
