Punu-style Mask - Lot 199
Punu-style Mask
Gabon
Wood, white pigments (kaolin)
Second half of the 20th century
This female mask, inspired by the Punu style, is characterized by a face with idealized features, covered in white kaolin, a symbol of beauty and purity. Of modern craftsmanship, this work attests to the persistence and spread of Punu forms, reinterpreted for a more recent context while retaining their visual power.
H: 24 cm - W: 16 cm
