Discover the profound spiritual and artistic heritage of West Africa with this striking Attié mask. Originating from the southeastern region of Côte d'Ivoire, the Attié (Akyé) people are a key community within the larger Akan group. This imposing 58cm tall mask reflects the elegance of lagoon-style carving traditions. Carved from a single piece of wood, it features a beautifully detailed, prominent crested coiffure with a cross-hatched pattern, and an expression of serene, inward reflection conveyed through its heavy-lidded eyes and elongated nose. A captivating and commanding centerpiece for any serious collector of West African art.
