This incredible mask is both large in size and large in artistry. The wood is covered by animal skin which is coloured in a beautiful red hue which offsets the amazing eyes and teeth. The mask would have been worn during a ceremony where the asset of the double head would have been a great advantage when trying to attract attention. All the features are present to give the mask a sense of realism. The top of the mask is also covered by human hair which only adds to the realism. On both faces, a circular design by the ear can also be found adding an interesting decoration to a fascinating mask. In relation to other masks found in Africa, this piece carries a great presence with it , making it a monumental work of art.
