About the Artisans:
In the Binga District of northern Zimbabwe, skilled BaTonga women craft iconic baskets from locally harvested palm leaves and wild twigs. The BaTonga people once farmed fertile land that was flooded by the damming of Lake Kariba, so weavers displaced across the lake demonstrate similar yet clearly distinctive styles.

Read moreExclusive African mask “Punu tribe” III, single piece
A very unusual art object is this mask made of Kola Wood, which comes from Gabon. As a single piece it surely will let the heart of every collector and Africa fan beat a little faster.
Decorative wooden mask made of Kola Wood
This beautiful mask is a real asset for any apartment. The wooden mask was carved by an artist from the Punu tribe, who lives in Gabon. They refer to themselves as “Bapunu” (singular: Mupunu).
Coming from the northwest, the Punu settled in the basin of Ngounié in the south of Gabon in the 18th century. The independent village communities were divided into clans and families. In social cohesion, the task was to keep the evil spirits of the forest spellbound.This mask served as a “fertility mask” and was placed under the bed of the lovers in the case of conception problems in order to support the desire for children. A gorgeous African decoration and a real eye-catcher for your home.
Mask for hanging or display on a stand
You can use the Punu mask as a precious wall decoration. If you really want to place them in a representative way, we recommend that you order the appropriate stand with it. The stands were made exclusively for us from iron steel and are perfectly adapted for your mask. So the beauty of this African mask comes to its advantage.
Dimensions: approx. 30 x 16 x 13 cm
Weight: approx. 480 g
