The rim is wrapped in rattan or cane, worn with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface carries the kind of interior patina — bloom, tool marks, wear at the lashing points — that speaks to genuine use rather than recent manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mask's specific tribal or regional origin has not been confirmed, and it is offered as a striking, well-worn example of the wider Central African masking tradition rather than as a documented piece from a named group.
