Description from the seller

Ikwara mask of the Punu, or Lumbo - Gabon

The Punu, in southern Gabon, are famous for their white masks—the Okuyi masks. Very rare among the Punu are the black masks, carved in a very similar style to the “Okuyi masks,” but dyed black with plant-based pigments. They are called “Ikwara” or “Ikwara Mokulu” ("Night masks").
