Double headed mask from the Mende tribe. Sierra Leone probably early 20th C. Wood, chalk. Signs of age. Expert report: Dr. Andreas Volz, Institute of Ethnology Freiburg University, 25.04.2012, in copy. Provenance: purchased by the consignor in 1995; since then German private collection. Literature: Sylvia Boone, Radiance from the Waters, Ideals of Feminine Beauty in Mende Art, New Haven 1986; Frederick Lamp, African Art from the West Atlantic Coast, New York 1978.

deutsch Sierra Leone wohl frühes 20. Jh. Holz, Kalkfarbe. Helmmaske mit Kammfrisur, spitzovales Gesicht mit gewölbter, glatter Stirn. Schmale Nase, schlitzförmige Augen und spitzes Kinn. Altersspuren. H. 38, B. 32 cm.
Die janusköpfigen Aufsatzmasken wurden von den Frauen der Mende getragen und belegen ihre Schönheit und ihren Reichtum. Die Ausdrucksstärke des Gesichtes liegt in seiner reduzierten Formsprache begründet, weitere Stilelemente sind durch detaillierte und feine Ausführung gekennzeichnet.
