Cameroon Mask
COUNTRY: CAMEROON
ETHNIC GROUP: PROBABLY BAYA OR MABALA
MATERIALS: WOOD, PIGMENT
HEIGHT: 24 1/2 in.
The masks of Cameroon come in an immense variety of forms as evidenced by this extraordinary piece. An interesting feature of the mask is that the mouth is represented by a miniature version of the entire mask. Is that what our mouths are?
