Terracotta Passport Mask – Small 189.2

Main Description

A miniature West African passport mask in terracotta. Small enough to sit in the palm of the hand, passport masks were never worn for performance – they were traditionally kept in a pocket or worn around the neck as sacred protective charms, carried between the living and spirit worlds.

Each culture had its own distinctive style, allowing these small masks to also serve as a form of tribal identity. With its compact scale and striking painted detail, this example makes a fascinating decorative object displayed individually on a shelf or grouped with other collected pieces.
