EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable wooden face mask from the 20th century. Crafted by the Oceanic people, this intricately designed artifact measures an impressive 91.4x32.4x20.6 cm and is currently housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The mask's striking features immediately draw attention - its elongated shape, exaggerated facial expressions, and delicate carvings make it a true masterpiece of Melanesian art. The artist skillfully captures both the beauty and mystery of this ancient culture through their meticulous craftsmanship. Originating from the Sepik River region, this face mask holds great cultural significance for its creators. It serves as a powerful symbol representing ancestral spirits or deities that were believed to protect and guide their community. Bridgeman Images expertly captures every intricate detail of this extraordinary sculpture in this print.

As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the rich artistic heritage of Melanesia.
