Bronze Mask |
| Mask of the Ife Culture. Nigera. appr. 14/15. century 27 cm |

| ••• | Ife-Mask from a private collection in Lomé. There are far more bronzes of this kind, than are discussed in ethnologic texts. The prices have adapted themselves accordingly. Peter Herrmann has examined the mask stilistically and with regard to patina. A TL-Analyse was done some years ago at Labor Kotalla and will be supplied later. more |

It is nearly a year since you received the last newsletter. A year full of private turbulence and, because one can't separate business from personal matters, in a small enterprise, it has been a year of interesting procedures and perceptions. The News-Site gives you an impression. Regular gallery work will only start in 2018. Please, be patient, as we are planning great things. Peter Herrmann looks forward to hearing from you. |
