Condition
Excellent condition overall. As visible on the catalogue illustration there is an old reparation on the top proper left side of the mask. At the rear a modern suspension clip. Little insect holes at some places and minor marks, nicks, scratches and small chips consistent with ritual handling. Beautiful preservation of the pigments with little lacks at some place but wear consistent with age and use within the culture.
