Living Africa: Tribal Objects for Your Home

The Vuvi live in central Gabon. Vuvi masks are characterized by the relative flatness of their design and by the emblematic nature of the facial features and markings. These masks serve as agents through which ancestral spirits reappear during funeral ceremonies and during solemn community gatherings.

Masque Vouvi 

Les Vuvi vivent dans le centre du Gabon. Les masques Vuvi sont caractérisés par la relative platitude de leur conception et par l’emblématique nature des traits du visage et des marquages. Ces masques servent d’agents à travers lesquels les esprits ancestraux réapparaissent au cours de cérémonies funéraires et de rencontres solennelles communautaires.
