About this piece
A mask no longer than your thumb, with a stare that carries.
Dogon artists of Mali, West Africa, made this miniature mask in brass in the 19th to 20th century. Small masks in the region are often worn as pendants or kept as charms echoing the larger dance masks. The face is long and narrow with a high forehead, pinched nose and small carved features. It is darkened with age and mounted on a thin rod above a black base.
About three inches tall. Tiny, serious, and mounted for admiration.
