Masks of New Guinea > Superb Old Amulet Mask, Middle Sepik River - 10980

This beautiful little mask was collected in the Iatmul village of Korogo in December of 1976. It is much older than that. Carved with a great deal of sensitivity, it shows a great deal of age with wonderful smooth black patina. It has a fully pierced septum. It is 10 7/8 inches tall.

I recently obtained a group of artifacts from legendary New Guinea collector Ron Perry who spent many decades working and collecting in New Guinea starting in the early 1960’s. This group came from a crate he shipped from New Guinea in December of 1976. The crate was stored unopened for 46 years until we opened it last year. None of these pieces have been displayed or sold before.

Priced at $180 plus $25 shipping costs within the US (Please see below for my guarantee regarding shipping cost.)

 Total cost will be $205

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS: None of us like it but shipping has gotten very pricey and changes regularly. I have no interest in making money on shipping costs. You can order with confidence. I absolutely guarantee you if I can ship your purchase for less than the quoted price, I will immediately refund the difference. If it costs more than the quoted price I will honor the original quote.

*If I am shipping to you outside the US, please contact me for shipping costs. I will get back to you with a total.
