Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a sculpted mask made from dark wood, featuring an elongated face with a serene expression. The mask includes slender eyes, a defined nose, and a slightly open mouth, all intricately carved to provide depth and detail. Above the forehead, two tall, elongated extensions resemble horns or an elaborate headdress, emphasizing the mask’s tall structure. The cheeks contain textured patterns that mimic traditional design elements, enhancing the mask's cultural aesthetic. To the side, a small white tag with the number "2025" is attached, likely indicating an inventory or catalog number. The mask rests against a smooth, brown wooden surface, highlighting its intricate craftsmanship and dark tone in contrast to the lighter background.
