African Antique Handcrafted Copper Plates from 1953
North African (Libya) Copper Art Plate Set from 1953. The hand crafting of these pieces is amazing! They were never used for serving. They were hung as wall art. They are in like new condition! The copper may be alloyed with another metal, such as tin. That would account for the lack of oxidation. The last picture displays the only sign of oxidation, which is nearly non-existent. The large plate measures 19.5 in diameter. The two smaller plates measure 9 and 1/8 in diameter. The two smaller plates have a copper wire that is soldered on the back for hanging. The larger plate has a copper sleeve to put a wire through for hanging. The second last picture has the artist’s stamp on it. This picture may be hard to view. It says Fauzi Naas, Tripoli. Please view pictures for condition. A great addition to anyone’s collection of African artwork or anyone that collects handcrafted plates or artwork. Reasonable offers will be considered.

Some of these masksgo ge, provided with a particularly sophisticated braided headdress, were only used exceptionally. SIZE OF THE MASK. An original patina covers the item.

African mask antiques, large African mask Mask Wood Kiiappak, Ammassalimiut Inuit-28.8/16.7 CM. Mask In the style of the Ammassalik region, Greenland Wood This mask illustrates the rare corpus of ancient masks from Ammassalik – an isolated region of South-East Greenland – collected by a handful of Danish and then French explorers between the end of the 19th century and the 1930s. This mask evokes a grimacing and asymmetrical face. The prominence of almond-shaped eyes with pierced pupils is accentuated by the contour of the brow bone and by the furrows of deeply engraved tattoos, initiatory witnesses that once adorned the faces of women. The torsion of the forms operated by the artist, particularly marked in the nose and the distended mouth, refers to the need for the angakoq (the shaman) to be unrecognizable to the spirits in order to avoid any revenge. Freed largely from the black lamp that once covered its entire surface, the mask comes to life in the brown iridescence of the wood in which it was carved. SIZE OF THE MASK. 28.8/16.7 CM.
