A Very Rare Old Senufo Hyena Mask, African Art Masterpiece - $1,500 - (Brigantine, NJ)

A Very rare, old and interesting wooden "Fire Spitter" dance mask from the Senufo peoples, Cote D'Ivoire, Africa. Carved wooden helmet style mask with back swept ears, well carved eyes and nose with some linear designs, wide open mouth with carved teeth, a tribal repair with old iron staples on the side of the neck, a very old iron spike driven into the forehead with a well weathered and well handled surface patina suggesting decades of traditional use. The mask represents a Hyena and is one of the oldest of the style we have offered in the last 27 years. The mask measures 23 x 11 x 14 inches. A heavy duty display stand will also be included. Completely original untouched patina. My name is Todd Zieseniss and I have been selling African, Asian and Pre-columbian Tribal Arts for nearly 25 years. I opened my first gallery "Tribal Gatherings" in 1994 and I have sold well over 20,000 works of Ethnographic arts in this time. I was one of the original sellers of Tribal Art on Ebay when it first started under the Ebay name "brightpath" and then I opened a second selling sight "Tribal gatherings" a few years later, which I still maintain. I have worked in authentication and appraisals for Rago auctions and other major auction houses in the Philadelphia region. I have contacts worldwide for Ethnographic arts and I am happy to help you build your collection. I have a large inventory of Art objects, you will only ever see a small portion on ebay. I sell decorative objects to Museum grade treasures and all at affordable prices. I would like to offer my expertise, and a selection of good objects picked with a trained eye. Please bookmark my ebay auctions page, I promise to keep it interesting.
