Boiken Dance Mask

This old hard wood Boiken Dance Mask, a variation of the Brag Mask, with the nose carved curving down instead of straight out, has been painted a number of times for ceremonial use with red, blackand white  earth pigments. Piercings through the outer rim for attachments and a patina from on going use are evident.
