A special Senufo mask from the collection of the Swedish CoBrA painter CO Hultén. This Kpelie mask, available for sale for the first time, is of captivating beauty. Thin-walled carved, finely worked out contours and richly decorated with charming details. In addition there are fine relief elements framing the face. The former black paint application has been lost in various places, resulting in a golden interplay with the underlying wood.
