Please forward this message to John Lunsford: Dear John: I'm curious about an African mask from the Bamana people that is in a DAM catalogue of an exhibit you curated in 1972. The piece was loaned from Bernard Brister and it is item 196 in the catalogue. I have a similar piece and want to learn more about the round circle hole above the mouth on the mask. I'm not learning why that hole is there and so I thought I'd try to find you. Can you help? Can you refer me to a text or to someone who might be a good resource? Thanks for your reply....and interest (if it is still with pieces from Africa). Bernhard Voss, St. Louis, MO Hello. Please forward this message to John Lunsford:

I just can't figure out how he got so much expertise packed into his 40-year-old head. I'm guessing he can't actually be over 50. Nice con, though, John. The ladies love a distinguished gent.
