Masque punu 
Originaire du gabon 
ces masques faisaient partie de rituels funéraires et initiatiques, incarnant les ancêtres et le monde des morts, appelé Mukuji.  Le blanc de la surface symbolise l'au-delà, tandis que les traits idéalisés rappellent la paix et la protection que ces figures apportaient à la communauté
