This carved wood mask features a circular "passport" style form with traditional tribal motifs. The face is characterized by slit eyes, a prominent nose, and an open mouth, accented by linear scarification marks on the cheeks and forehead. A small, stylized figure or crest sits atop the head. The periphery of the mask is decorated with a textured, radiating pattern. The wood exhibits a dark, matte patina with areas of visible wear and age-related surface loss. The mask is mounted on a modern lucite display stand with a circular frosted base.
