Description from the seller

This mask features the classic stylistic traits of Punu art, including the high, finely grooved bi-lobed hairstyle, narrow slit eyes, prominent lips, and the traditional diamond-shaped scarification (scars) on the forehead. The face shows remnants of the traditional white kaolin pigment, symbolizing the spirits of the ancestors.
