Bwa sunburst face mask brings bold West-African symbolism to your home. Hand-carved from a single hardwood plank in Burkina Faso’s Bwa tradition, this circular mask features concentric sun motifs and stylized spiral eyes painted with white kaolin and black pigment. Its striking graphic design and textured relief make it a standout piece for any gallery wall, mantle, or entryway.
Crafted for ceremonial harvest dances, the mask’s sunburst rays symbolize renewal and community unity. Now reimagined as wall décor, it adds an intriguing blend of tribal heritage and modern minimalism to boho, eclectic, or contemporary interiors.
Materials & Finish
Sustainably sourced hardwood
Natural kaolin clay and mineral-based pigments
Matte finish, unvarnished surface
Care
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and abrasive cleaners to preserve pigments and wood texture.
The Story
In Bwa villages, plank masks like this one “see” the sun’s energy during harvest festivals, linking villagers with ancestral spirits. Each mask is shaped with an adze, then hand-painted in courtyard ceremonies—where the first drumbeat “awakens” its power. Displaying it continues that legacy of rhythm, renewal, and shared heritage.
