[QUOTE="CuriousityRover, post: 11071401, member: 95512"]Ooh, now we have a mystery. It was gifted to me by a widow in her 80's. All the info I got with it was written on the back of a picture of the artwork for insurance reasons. Roughly translated: Attachable mask. Kurumba, upper Volta. Brown colored wood Mostly covered in geometric motives in black, redish brown, ocheryellow, broken white. Decorated with seashells Height 95, width 66 (July 9th 1974) f 1000,- ______________ The picture doesn't seem to show the blue and the note doesn't mention it. It looks more crisp and less colorful. She was a kindergarten teacher, happy little accidents happen? Of course they could have made some details up, but I'd say its very plausible. I'd guess the picture was taken somewhere mid 80's to late 90's. [ATTACH=full]536013[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
