Genuine Old Papua New Guinea Sepik River Region Spirit Mask Tribal Ramu Kopar
Here is a Genuine Old Sepik River Region "Spirit" Mask, a tribal mask made in. Papua New Guinea, very likely pre-1960's. This mask is beautifully carved and well-crafted, and though we don't know the makers name, we do know that it captures a haunting spirit in it's rendering. 25.5" tall x 8.5" wide x 6.5 deep and is in very good vintage condition, showing few losses; one being (what looks like) an area where a critter may have gnawed a small opening on the back.

It only serves to hint at it's "story", as it was. It would strange if it didn't have any signs of use and age. This is easily a pre-1960's mask and very possibly, much older. The whale or fish effigy at the top of the mask is quite unusual.

I could not find another example of that animal anywhere on the crest of a spirit mask anywhere, in my online research. Eyes are mesmerizing (hinting of a sort of hypnotic state) and the mask displays so stunningly, I'm certain it will evoke greatness in whatever environment it continues to grace, hereafter.
