Grosse Hornmaske 1997

"Grosse Hornmaske" is a striking mask created in 1997 by German artist Manuela Sambo. The mask is crafted in a stylized, almost abstract form, featuring large, curving horns that extend out from the top, framing a geometric face with prominent, almond-shaped eyes. Sambo's work often draws inspiration from traditional African masks, and this piece reflects that influence through its bold shapes, texture, and expressive qualities. The mask's dramatic presence and powerful symbolism invite viewers to consider the nature of identity and the power of the human spirit.
