Delivery EstimateThis mask, skillfully hewn by Robert Nortey and the artisans of Robanty Limited, symbolizes courage. Rendered in the style of the Baoule people of Cote d'ivoire, the face suggests an ancient warrior, who fought persistently to revenge the death of others despite having shed his own blood. His tongue hangs out in an expression of bright red, representing the sufferings of his people. Brass plates adorn the nose, cheeks, and forehead, complementing the rich grain of hand-carved sese wood, finished in dark tan and black polish.
