I have had this for a while. It's about 18 inches long and it is also a yipwon spirit figure. I made the mistake of washing what I thought was grime off of it. It was black when I got.

Picked this mask up today at a flea market. From what I can gather on the net it is a Savi style mask from the middle Sepik River region, possibly village of Tambunam (sp?). It's about 15" long. Age? I would appreciate any other info anyone can offer. Thanks.

Buzzy,
Here is my source for identifying the mask: http://www.art-pacific.com/artifacts/nuguinea/maskspko.htm
Great mask but the important thing is that mine is bigger than yours
