This striking mask is a Chief Tribe Mask.  It has a beautifully carved Sea Bird perched on top of an intricately carved antelope.  It sits on top of a coconut shell decorated with shells and tree strips held together with a strong mud mixture. The mask was then painted with colors from roots and crushed stone. This mask was carved from a single piece of African wood and is approximately 70 years old.
