    Description

    Bamileke Cameroon Masquerade Mask
    Because imported beads were historically rare and costly, beadwork is also associated with high social rank, making this mask a potent symbol of power. The Bamileke masquerade is an assertive but controlled and dignified performance.
    measures approximately: 10 5/8" W x 4 1/4" D x 15" H (includes bottom hanging beads)
