A powerful Cameroon ceremonial helmet mask carved from a single block of dense hardwood. The weight alone tells its story. At 2.5 kg, it has the presence and gravity of a piece that was made to be worn in ritual, not produced for the tourist market. The broad, domed form and expressive features create a striking silhouette, softened by the worn pigment and the slow patina of age.
There is a real sense of character in the carving, from the raised triangular chest to the deep set eyes and the toothy grin. It feels both protective and enigmatic, exactly what you want from an old ceremonial mask. The surface carries the marks of handling, use, and time, giving it a texture that only comes from decades of life.
A commanding sculptural piece for a shelf or console.
