Description from the seller
Beautiful wooden mask from the Fang tribe.
The Fang ethnic group mainly settles in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and southern Cameroon. They are known for their traditional art, especially their distinctive carvings and masks. These mask types are traditionally used in ancestor worship rituals as well as in the fight against witchcraft.
The offered piece stands out for its expressive, modern color palette and the classically elongated form. It was hand-carved from a single piece of wood and painted in warm earth tones with a fine, incised decoration on the forehead.
