In the Fang cultures of Central Africa, certain sculpted forms were associated with representations of authority and organization within the community.
This carved wooden mask, characterized by an elongated face, sober features, and balanced composition, adopts these formal codes.
The natural patina and simplicity of the volumes highlight a quest for visual stability, in a contemporary interpretation of these forms.
