Description: Here is a classic used Lovale mask with scarification, exposed teeth and fiber coiffure. This example in particular has a sensitively-carved lovely serene face. In good condition. On the inside is what I would describe as a native reinforcing mend. It was done with wood shims, rattan and resin. No signs the mask was ever cracked or damaged. It comes with a metal display stand but note it is not custom made.
