Tolai Face Mask
Dimondstein Tribal Arts
This rare ancestor mask comes from the Tolai people who populate a region of greater Papua New Guinea centered on the Duke of York Islands between New Britain and New Ireland. It is extraordinary that much of the raffia on the mask's head has survived since the 19th century.
