African Mask Bwa Plank Carved Wood Tribal Ceremonial Vintage Art--G6249Product Description
SIZE(CM): 27.7/14/2.5 Authentic African Bwa ceremonial mask is hand carved from solid wood and decorated with a raised checkerboard pattern using traditional pigments. The rectangular plank form, inset eyes, and layered carved mouth reflect classic Bwa ritual design associated with ceremonial performances and community symbolism. The geometric open crest at the top and the deeply hollowed back indicate traditional construction rather than decorative reproduction. Surface wear, pigment loss, and natural patina are consistent with age and cultural use, enhancing authenticity and character. A strong example of African tribal art, ideal for collectors, interior display, or cultural collections. Materials: carved wood, traditional pigments Colors: black, white, red, natural wood Origin: West Africa (Bwa culture) Stand Not Included
