I have such a bighead.
It is here now and it is rather special if you ask me.
First point and I would really value oppinions on the matter. Does one live with the Vandelism as part of the objects history through collecting time or do some cosmetic restoration?
Second, the club was listed as Nilotic Sudan. Well you do not need many books on African art to question that. Surely the ear form is Central African? perhaps even coastal west Africa? I am going to suggest Gabon and Congo. The jungle gunge on the piece makes me think of Congo, Central Africa and the face.
