Tribal Bwa wall mask African spirit carving with owl face vertical wood sculpture from Burkina Faso handmade ceremonial decor-G5431

A vertical spirit carved with symmetry and soul.

This vertical Bwa wall mask from Burkina Faso represents a guardian spirit invoked during traditional ceremonies for protection and agricultural harmony. Known for their spiritual power and bold symbolism, Bwa masks like this one play a vital role in rituals and harvest festivals.

The mask is composed of a long, geometric plank featuring alternating rows of red triangles, a central white panel, and a half-moon crest in yellow. At the base, a stylized owl face emerges in earth tones, complete with concentric painted eyes and symbolic markings. These Bwa carvings speak to duality: top and bottom, sun and moon, spirit and earth.

This piece makes a striking vertical wall sculpture. It is lightweight, ideal for narrow architectural spaces or spiritual corners of the home. Whether displayed as African decor or as a collector’s piece, the mask bridges ancestral purpose and modern appreciation.
