I saw this monkey mask at an exhibition at
The Charles H. Taylor Art Center in Hampton, Va and took a picture. It's a simple, decorative piece, not a "real", "danced" mask. Even so, I like the clean shape of the face and the hair lines and the button eyes. I forgot to record any information about where this mask came from or who made it, so I did a web search for "African Monkey Masks" and I found that this is likely to be
a mass produced mask from Indonesia. That's alright, it's still a cool looking mask and I enjoyed drawing it.
OK HW
