Full original description
The Djimini They mastered the art of varnishing pottery objects based on resins and roots and applied this same technique for the pigmentation of statues and masks. This mask is touched with a curious hairstyle of elongated loops in ear that seem inspired by the fruit of the carambolo. We can see the influence of his relatives Senufo on the side fins under raised ears. Very dark patina, practically black.
