Condition & Surface Character Preserved in excellent vintage condition with strong structural integrity. The carved gourd shell is light, sturdy, and well-preserved with a warm, dark-brown patinated finish. The raffia trim and woven fiber components remain tightly bound and colorful. An integrated top hanging loop on the mask allows for immediate wall suspension.
