BAGA, Guinea. Hardwood, aged patina, metal. An icon of African art, this large "Nimba" shoulder mask is a spiritual entity representing the idealized Baga woman.

The imposing head, with its crested hairstyle and chevron motifs, features a prognathic face with a prominent nose and bulging eyes. First half of the 20th century. Height: 116 cm. Expert : Mr Christian Hervé NJIENSI
