In 2021, an elderly French couple was clearing out their home in preparation for a yard sale when they came across an African mask. Initially, they believed it was “worthless,” and sold it to a local antique dealer for $158. A few months later, they read in a newspaper article that the dealer had resold it in auction — for $4.4 million. Now, the couple has sued the dealer for roughly $5.55 million in compensation, claiming he failed to disclose his suspicions about the piece’s actual worth.⁠

The Mask from the Ngil society Fang People of Gabon to be auctioned on March 26th. Circa late 19th century, fashioned in soft wood, kaolin, vegetable fibers

It was assessed and authenticated by the renowned Parisian gallery dealer Bernard Dulon known for his expertise in the domain of African art. The particularly elegant mask was presented by Bertrand de Latour and Jean-Christophe Giuseppe auctioneers of the Montpellier auction house at a recent exhibition at the Galerie Pierre-Alain Challier in Paris. The Ngil masks of Gabon showcase the features typical of Fang carvings: a very broad forehead, a heart-shaped face and a double arch over the eyes. The kaolin used in the fashioning of the mask conveys the color of the dead or spirits. by @youngparis
