    Description

    I purchase this mask from Mingei International Galley in 2008 .  It has been in my private collection since then.
    It was made in The Ivory Coast but the country is no longer listed by EBay as a viable Country/Region of Manufacture.  I have no idea why.
    I am downsizing and want to find a good home for this mask and several other items I have loved for so long.  It needs to be out where it can be seen and admired...not stuck away in a box.
    The condition is very good consistent with the age.  Some sligh paint flaking.  No other nicks or cracks.
    The mask measurements are approxi
    mately 22" in length and a facial width of approximately 6".  The estimated age is 1970's..
    The Shipping and Handling charges are what I anticipate it will cost to custom pack and ship...plus insurance for the amount of purchase.  If the actual charge is more, I will absorb it.  If less, I will refund any overcharge.
    Thank you for visiting my listing and in advance for your purchase consideration.
