About the Item
This authentic Congo figurative mask is a striking example of African tribal art, carved by hand in raw, patinated wood. The natural tones, ranging from light beige to deep brown, emphasize the expressive facial features — prominent eyes, stylized ears, and a sculpted mustache lend this piece a strong symbolic identity, both human and spiritual.
Compact and lightweight, this tribal mask is ideal for decorators or collectors looking to enrich an interior with authentic African culture. Its small size makes it easy to display on a wall, in a cabinet, or on a stand.
Inspired by traditional Central African aesthetics, this Congo mask reflects ancestral craftsmanship passed down through generations. Though unsigned, its patina and weathered look evoke ritual heritage. It is in very good condition and ready to install with the addition of a simple hook or discreet stand.
