    Description

    I wouldn't want to meet such a guy in a dark alley! This bold, strong helmet mask has a powerful glowering countenance with a naturalism almost spooky. Sometimes these Makonde Lipico masks from either Tanzania or Mozambique look like decapitated heads (my wife hates them) but the realism of this example seems to inform its personality like, you know, you know what he sounds like talking, you sense his brutish presence, and he is not to be dealt with lightly. The patina is varied and interesting with some vestigial green paint and there is no damage or losses. A fantastic example. About 11 x 7 x 10. U.S. buyers please. [Boston Primitive]
