A fine and large African Kponyugu mask
Ivory Coast - Senufo people
Carved wood with black patina.
The massive and powerful shape of this heavy mask combines several zoomorphic elements that contribute to create a sense of dynamism and strength. The Kponyugu mask, also known as spitfire masks, is expressly intended for funeral rites of important members of the wealthy Poro society and certainly is among the most intriguing and imaginative creations of African Art.
