Mask – Wood – Mitsogho – Gabon

Stylistic Mitsoho mask from Gabon. Mitsogho masks, when not worn during funeral ceremonies, were kept at the back of the Ebanza house, where the men`s cult met. They were covered in white pigments and were carved with an open mouth, a small nose, and typical slanted eyes set under M-shaped brows. Face is half red half with spread with pigments.
Good ondition with traces of wear and tear.

Provenance: former private collection from Germany.
