MASK WITH GEOMETRIC PATTERNS - Mali - Malinké? - Lot 16
MASK WITH GEOMETRIC PATTERNS - Mali - Malinké? Mid-20th century. Wood with a dark patina. Dimensions: 64 cm. This style (highly elongated face, multiple horns, massive and smooth form) is reminiscent of the stylistic vocabulary of masks associated with initiation societies in the Mandinka region (notably Komo, Nama, and Kono). The geometric design lends rhythm and harmony to the overall composition. Research and documentation: Coryse Mwape – Art historian specializing in ancient African art. Internal ref.: 1101
