Its elongated shape and two tall stylized ears evoke sacred animal figures and spiritual symbolism typical of ritual masks from Central Africa. The two-tone finish, contrasting deep brown and matte ivory, highlights the facial features and intensifies the mystical presence of the gaze. Entirely handcrafted, this tribal mask reflects the artisanal mastery passed down among the Kéwélé people. It can be displayed on a wall or mounted on a stand (not included). The mask is delivered without a hanging system, allowing buyers to choose the most suitable installation method. It is in excellent condition, with no structural or surface damage, ensuring immediate display. Though unsigned, as is common for ritual pieces, this mask is a unique item with strong ethnographic value and refined craftsmanship. See less
