A graceful spirit of the past — this Punu mask from Gabon embodies feminine beauty, ancestral wisdom, and ceremonial power.
This exquisite tribal mask comes from the Punu people of southern Gabon, famed for their idealized portrayals of ancestral women. Traditionally worn in dances that connect the living to the spiritual world, Punu masks honor feminine grace and the role of women as life-givers and protectors.
Carved from hardwood and adorned with red, blue, and black pigments, the mask showcases a high forehead, closed meditative eyes, and scarification marks along the cheeks. The elaborate crest-style hairdo is typical of Punu iconography and signifies social status and ancestral pride.
This piece is a stunning reflection of the Punu's reverence for the spirit world — perfect for art collectors, spiritual spaces, or African-inspired interiors.
