Item Description

An African tribal relic, this polychrome-decorated PENDE PUMBU mask is the farthest thing from a tourist export piece one can find. It is quite old, authentic and was used for tribal ceremonial purposes. Impressive in person, incise carved from a single block of VERY dense wood, naturally dyed. All of the wear on display is a testament to its' long journey, with proper bruising, losses and a wear pattern commensurate with many years of usage. There is an old loss to the right field of the mask, proper to find in an early example. Authentic examples shouldn't look perfect. It was husked from a single block of wood, with lots of heft/weight. Large in size, 28.5" in height. A museum-quality example!
Too large to ship in-house, but we have suggested several 3rd party shipping options in the 'special instructions' section of the auction, at the top of the opening page. Please follow the prompts in Caps to guide you there. I will gladly drop it off at the shipper of your choice, with no handling fees.
