Mask, Ramu River Valley, Papua New Guinea Height: 50 cm Wood. This mask is distinguished by its imposing carved nose, a characteristic feature of many works from the Ramu River Valley. Devoid of carved decoration, it derives all its power from the balance of its volumes and the simplicity of its modeling. This economy of means lends the work a remarkable expressive power, characteristic of the sculptural traditions of this region. Provenance: - Donat Collection, Berlin, acquired before 1920. - Jo de Buck, Brussels (certificate dated October 6, 2002).
