A rare and exceptional piece, this large African antelope mask from the Kurumba people  is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of tribal art. Hand-carved from naturally aged wood and adorned with vibrant geometric patterns in red, yellow, black, and white, this antelope mask is a stunning example of African craftsmanship. The design of these graceful antelope forms emphasizes the slender features of the animal's horns, neck, and snout.

Standing at 79 inches tall, this impressive mask is a showstopper that will add a touch of exotic flair to your home.  Perfect for as a piece of historical art in the living room, entryway, or prominent corners in your home. Despite signs of wear and tear, restoration and age marks this antique sculpture remains a valuable and culturally significant artifact.
