The cubistic mask with high plank-like structure above the head with alternating triangles of pastel shades of red and blue and white; the face conceived almost as a single plane with flattened nasal ridge and tiny mouth with round piercing eyes. Light coloration tot he face as well, and fine old surface and patination of wear and long term use. A subtle but very powerful example. On a custom base.
Provenance: Property of a West Coast private collector
