    Description

    This is an Ekoi, aka Ejagham,  antelope hide over wood headdress/mask from Nigeria.  It measures approximately 20" high and 14" wide.  The custom made stand is included in the list price.  This piece is circa mid to late 20th century.
    Provenance:
    I purchased this mask from Sana Gallery's Out of Africa Collection in 1996.
    Sana Gallery - Purchased the mask in 1996 from a private San Francisco collector.
    I am downsizing and wish to find a good home for this mask I have loved for so long.  It needs to be out where it can be seen and admired not stuck away in a box.
    I will be glad to try and answer any questions you may have about this mask.
