Very rough shape, large cracks, paint loss, damage to both horns, etc. Lots of pictures to look at. Measurements are often in the pictures. Please think before you order, this literally puts food on my table, so the “changed my mind” return takes that food right off my table. Don’t be afraid to make an offer, I don’t mind some haggling! In many of my listings my pictures are my only description, so please look them over well! Please check my other auctions for lots of different and odd items. I try to have new items every couple of weeks. Any questions, please ask. I’m always adding new stuff, you never know what you’ll find! Don’t forget to leave feedback!! Help support small sellers!

This work of art is a collaborative effort of Jackie Apessos and myself Stephen Marks. Basically I start with one item that I’m drawn to and just keep adding to it til I think it’s done, in this piece it was the pottery head that Jackie made and I added the tin and the other items.

This head shape is often identified with figures and masks common throughout a region stretching from Cameroon, through Gabon to the Atlantic coastal area. The function of this interesting and unique old carving is unknown, however due to the quality of carving and the details of the face that are similar to figural images found the family altar we identify it with the Fang Byeri funerary cult.

I can’t figure out who this is. If you know please tell me! A certain digital “lens” was not helpful either. Please see “About this Item” for flaws and additional information regarding condition details. Please utilize the “toggle” arrow when using a desktop view to see ALL pictures, which usually include measurements. The arrow is cleverly “hidden” and only seen when you “hover” over the picture reel to the left of the large picture, bottom. When using the app, you can simply slide the “reel” of pictures beneath the main one to see all photos. Some signs of wear from age use and storage including some surface wear.
