Marka (Maraka) Mask, Mali. An exceptional anthropomorphic mask carved from wood, featuring finely incised geometric decoration and a zoomorphic ornament at the top. It is characterized by a particularly elongated face, with half-closed eyes, a tapered nose, and a delicately sculpted mouth. The forehead and cheeks feature remarkable decoration consisting of fine geometric incisions arranged in herringbone patterns, crosshatching, and parallel bands. It has a very beautiful reddish-brown patina with deep hues and a delicate luster. A work of great finesse in its execution, remarkable for the precision of its engraving, the slenderness of its proportions, and the harmony of its composition. Formerly in the J. Lecluse collection, Liège; acquired in 1978. Includes base Height: 48 cm
