Mid Century Hand Carved African Mask

This striking wooden mask originates from West Africa, crafted during the late 1950s to early 1960s period. Hand-carved from solid wood, it exemplifies the skilled artisanship characteristic of Ghanaian and Nigerian mask-making traditions. Measuring 46 x 25 x 6.5cm, this authentic piece was acquired directly from Ghana during the 1960s, making it a genuine example of mid-century African sculptural work. Its substantial presence and traditional carving techniques reflect the cultural significance these masks held in their original context.
