LARGE 29 Papua New Guinea Sepik River Spirit Ancestor Board Shield Mask READ

Featuring a LARGE 29 Papua New Guinea Sepik River Spirit Ancestor Board Shield Mask. It has a round shape with orange, black, yellow and brown pigments with a carved head at the bottom and a colorful bird with its wings outstretched mounted atop the head. The tip of birds beak was chipped off and I reapplied and secured it with high grade wood glue.

There is a crack down the left side of the shield that was structurally sound but I decided to re-enforce with high strength wood glue to make sure it stays secure and doesn't crack further. There is a half circle break at bottom of shield where the wood chipped off. Otherwise all other wear like paint patching and discoloration is expected for the age and material. It displays beautifully despite the damage and I've adjusted price accordingly to reflect it. 2 LB 9.2 oz Weight before boxing.

This is a highly unique PNG piece that grabs attention with its design and a great addition to any collection.
