Hand carved African wood mask featuring applied glass beadwork and a central cowrie shell accent. The mask is carved from a single piece of wood with a hollowed back and includes a leather hanging loop for wall display.
Decorative beadwork is arranged in geometric patterns across the face in black, red, yellow, white, and green. Painted surface details and carved facial features give the mask strong dimensional presence. The reverse shows hand-tool marks consistent with carved wood rather than molded production.
This piece is best represented as a decorative African-style mask. No specific tribal attribution is claimed.
A striking sculptural object suited for global, bohemian, or collected interiors.
