Hand-carved African wood mask with a distinctive dual-crest hairstyle, white pigment surface, and stylized facial features including slit eyes and incised brows. Finished with ochre-painted lips, this mask reflects a ceremonial aesthetic, with drilled suspension holes and a hollowed interior.

While this piece was likely created for decorative display, its form draws influence from Punu ceremonial masks of Gabon and Igbo face masks of Nigeria. These masks are traditionally associated with ancestral reverence, ritual performance, and spiritual symbolism.

This sculptural wall piece is ideal for global folk interiors, wabi-sabi styling, or as a feature in bohemian or rustic spaces.
