This mask may be tribal in appearance, but the finish is too refined to be the work of an untrained tribal artist. It is simple, undecorative and superbly well cast. The elongated face has a straight, sharp nose, Buddha like half closed eyes with narrow slits. The mouth is small and protruding. There are rectangular patches on either side of the nose, running down to the chin diagonally. Another set of similar patches is between the eyes and the ears. The eyebrows are also formed of such rectangular, yet curved patches to form the brow. These patches with small squares are actual tribal decorations. The headgear rises above the head like a diadem. It has a ribbed texture with refined edges. It appears to be held by a string running down to form a bow beneath the chin.
The mask is hollow, though not very light in weight. It has provision at the back to be hung on the wall. One does not need to create space to display this elegant work. Any dull wall will enliven up by this simple mask in metal.
