    Description

    Larger one has a figural face with slight gorilla/warrior face on top end of staff with pick, one piece carving.  Some age, measures 16 1/2 long. Smaller pick measures 9 3/4" long. Shaped club with an iron curved hook.
    I sell to the US only
    I have recently come into a number of African Art pieces.
    Wooden face masks, passport masks, jewelry
    and other items. These are not souvenir shop items.
    They were purchased in Liberia and Kenya although I believe most were purchased in Liberia and possibly in the Ivory Coast. Purchased by an avid collector/ doctor stationed in Africa in the early1990’s.
    They were appraised by Cummings& Associates, a Eugene Oregon company, in 2016. The appraisal values were quite high but I can’t be sure they represent actual value since these items are one of a kind and can’t really be replaced.
    I describe these as best I can, but I’m not personally knowledgeable with the pieces.  Most descriptions were provided by the appraiser..
