This sculptural, asymmetric piece presents a tribal mask motif whose faces are made, collage-like, with geometric incisions on the piece's front and back. It is both visually and texturally compelling. The piece has many of the same qualities of other pieces by lerat when one scrutinises the breadth of her work. Although some have full signatures as their mark, others had a simple monogram which appears somewhat as an 'h', but may also be visually resolved as 'j l'. This gallery feels the prevalence of indications points to lerat for this piece. Whatever the case, the ceramic is stunning and would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection or home decor. Like lerat, many other artists were inspired by african mask motifs and incorporated them in their works. Pablo picasso, jean derval and robert deblander are a few who made ceramics and other works with this theme. The piece is in good overall condition.
