This antique African mask is a traditional mask that was used by the Fang tribe in Western Africa for various cultural and ceremonial purposes. This Fang face mask has been carved from wood, with delicate facial features that are both elegant and intricate. The mask is painted in black and white, with the black representing death and the white representing life. The black and white colors on the mask are arranged in an alternating pattern, which gives the mask a striking and powerful appearance. This African mask has a prominent nose, high cheekbones, and a small mouth. The eyes are almond-shaped and slanted, which gives the mask a sense of mystery and intrigue. The overall shape of the mask is elongated, with a narrow chin and glass and hard-stone eyes.
