Sepik Spirit Mask From Papua New Guinea
Attractive smiley spirit mask from the Sepik. Decorated with cowrie shells for eyes with a spirit septum and another spirit on the forehead. Authentic old patina with obvious signs of age.

Good condition with no damage. Weight (unpacked): 1.2 kilos. Most items were collected by ourselves while we were living and working in Papua New Guinea in the 1980's.

We are now downsizing from our large old farmhouse to something more manageable for our age. Some carvings have signs of wear and tear due to age. Some have cracking which occurs as a result of taking items from the tropics to a colder, drier environment.
