African wall decor mask with vibrant color zones and spiritual symbolism, hand-carved by the Bwa people of Burkina Faso.
🌍 Cultural Context
This ceremonial Bwa plank sun mask was used in initiation rites, harvest celebrations, and ancestral festivals. Its broad circular design and radiant geometric patterns honor spiritual balance, nature’s cycles, and moral education in Bwa tradition. The yellow and indigo sections represent duality—sun and rain, heaven and earth.
🎨 Visual Details

Pigments in mustard yellow, cobalt blue, and ivory white are carefully applied in concentric curves and zigzag segments. Raised scarification lines add cultural weight and tribal authenticity.
