Expertly carved by hand, the mask features deeply arched brows, narrow eyes, a prominent angular nose, and a stylized mouth. Black and ivory-toned detailing accentuates the facial features, while a repeating triangular motif decorates the perimeter.

The substantial, hollowed wooden construction retains visible hand-tool marks, aged surface wear, and a richly textured finish that speaks to its traditional craftsmanship. A compelling example of African tribal artistry with a strong sculptural presence.
