Máscara de baile - vuvi mask - Gabón

This mask is representative of Vuvi sculptures, which link the flat masks of central Gabon with the more realistic works of the southern coast. The two-dimensional representation of the face is marked by highly stylized oval features and arched eyebrows. The eyes, represented by two narrow horizontal slits, and the roughly carved mouth punctuate this austere face.
