This fine early Bamileke mask depicts a bush cow with long sweeping horns. Throughout, this mask exhibits an old worn surface patina, showing great age and a fantastic primal presence.
This mask has been part of a private family collection in London since 1981 when it was purchased at Christie's, South Ken. Thereafter it was passed through the family by descent.
Ex Christie's London (Lot 161, July 1981 - Auction label is still attached to the mask)
Ex Private Collection, London (By descent until recent times)
Estimated Period: Early 20th Century (Likely 1st Quarter or before)
