Description from the seller

Despite its appearance, this Bateke/Tsaye mask shows no signs of age or use and was probably made to be sold.

Personalized support is included.

These flat, round, and abstract masks are adorned with symbols of Tsaye beliefs. Used in the rituals of Kidumu, the male association, the masks express their social and religious values.
