A handsome pair of carved ivory masks, one of a man and the other of a woman, each wearing an ornately carved ceremonial headdress, and each with a fitted half-circle carved wooden stand on four small feet. The masks conform to the curve of the tusk and are finely carved, with accenting black pigments in the grooves. Overall each is approx. 8"H x 4"W x 2"D without the stand. There are holes originally drilled in each that once held other ornaments, now missing.
