African Mask

Description

This mask is made of carved wood. It has small openings where the eyes and mouth are. There are darker stains around the mouth and corner of eyes as well as the edges of the mask where any sweat or saliva on the face would touch the mask. There are many marks where it has been carved, mostly on the inside of the mask.
