The face is dominated by its minimalist construction — tiny pinhole eyes set beneath painted arched double-line brows, and a long, narrow ridged nose dividing the face into two subtly differentiated painted zones. Delicate spiral scroll motifs are painted at the temples, flowing into fine linear patterning across the forehead. The surface carries a soft, aged patina with visible pigment wear, giving the mask a weathered, contemplative quality consistent with genuine ceremonial age.","brand":"\u0026 Other Stories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48135295303906,"sku":"ALB-MAS-047","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/2201\/3922\/files\/bf74561e-c7f8-46d0-a324-d728b694b3a4.jpg?v=1785886110","url":"https:\/\/www.alobalo.shop\/products\/mbole-lengola-ceremonial-mask-democratic-republic-of-congo","provider":"Alobalo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
