Boiken Wood Mask

Old Carved Wood Painted Mask from the Boiken People from the Lower Sepik Region, Papua new Guinea. Coastal Boiken groups formerly created masks representing a variety of male and female spirits. Used by men during ceremonial performances, most were not placed directly on the face but were attached to a basketry framework that covered the dancer's head and was worn with a knee-length grass skirt.
