Colorful coiled paper strips in red, blue, yellow and green spiral outward, while three circular cutouts add depth and shadow across the face. The saturated palette reads clearly from across a room, and the rounded form gives the piece a sculptural, almost totemic presence. The overall look is distinctly Boho, with a handmade spirit that suits collectors of vintage decorative arts.

Constructed from jute, rope and paper, the mask reflects artisanal craftsmanship and traditional practices. A fringe of natural jute gathers at the base, adding texture and movement beneath the coiled paper. The original finish remains intact and vibrant, and a natural patina has developed with age. Hung on a wall, it makes a statement above a console, in a hallway, a den or a gallery wall, where it pairs well with woven baskets, rattan, wood and other earthy, global-inspired accents.

The mask measures 18.25 inches wide, 3.75 inches deep and 22 inches high. Condition is very good, with a rich patina and the original finish still vibrant. The jute fringe shows minor fraying consistent with age, and the piece is structurally sound. There are no visible repairs or significant damage.
