Taíno Mask in Serpentine – 10th to 15th Century AD A Taíno carved mask from the Dominican Republic, made from a dark green to nearly black stone with a glossy, mottled surface. A pointed crown rises above incised forehead bands. Oval eyes, a prominent nose and full lips project from the face, with stepped details at either side. The reverse is largely plain. The colour and lustre suggest serpentine as a possibility, but cannot confirm it. Fine scratches, lighter abrasions and an irregular area around the nose are visible.
