Product code: Purchases VINTAGE AFRICAN SHIELD fine art sculpture mask,15
This vintage African shield/mask was made in the Republic of Congo purchases ( formerly Zaire ) and is in very good condition. It is 15" x 9" x 3 3/4" ( 37cm x 24cm x 9.5cm.) The shield was hand carved and painted. These are known for their dramatic faces and carved textures. The colors are: brown, white, rust and blue painted at the four corners of the shield. There are a few surface flaws that were probably original and do not affect the drama of this piece. There are a few places at the top and bottom of the shield where the wood has slightly separated due to the change in humidity. The overall effect of the shield is powerful. The cost for shipping is an estimate and a refund will be sent for the difference if the cost is lower.
