Ram mask - Yoruba - Nigeria

Ram mask, Yoruba culture, Nigeria. H. 28 cm - W. 20 cm Beautiful and ancient Yoruba mask from Nigeria. It depicts a ram. It is an animal emblematic of Yoruba power (along with the leopard).

The sculpture is refined; the volumes are harmonious, a true success. Beautiful dry patina from age and handling. Some wear and minor flaws; sold as is, see photos.
