SIZE(CM): 28.6/18.5
Guard your space with a burst of West-African color—this vintage Akan festival mask is a blackened wood oval enlivened by vivid red, green, yellow and blue stripes, carved to mesmerize dancers and onlookers alike.
Hand-carved by the Akan people of modern-day Ghana & Côte d’Ivoire, such masks parade during harvest and community celebrations. The sculptor first charred hardwood to a velvety charcoal finish, then applied bright natural pigments that glow against the dark ground. Eye openings are ringed in warm red, while slim vent holes along the rim once held raffia or costume fabric.

Materials: Solid hardwood, natural mineral & plant pigments
Function: Ceremonial festival / dance mask (now wall décor)
Finish: Charcoal-black patina with hand-painted polychrome stripes; gently distressed from age and use
