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).

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.

A very unusual art object is this mask made of Kola Wood, which comes from Cameroon. 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 Bateke tribe, which lives in Central Africa.
The Bateke originally lived in the estuary of the Kasai river meeting the Congo and made a living of fishing, agriculture and hunting. From the 15th century onwards they became successful traders and used the rivers as transport routes. Their empire was decentralized and held together by kings. The power was distributed to local chiefs.
Masks of this type were originally used to worship the sun. They were used to appease the sun god – hence the round shape.Mask for hanging or display on a stand

About the Artisans:
Artisans at the Tonderai Metal Works in Zimbabwe use recycled materials and discarded oil drums to create stunning works of art and feature one-of-a-kind detailing.
About Shipping:
Shipping for oil drum sculptures requires a pallet and starts at $300. To the East Coast, we have seen costs as high as $400-$650, but they vary throughout the year.
After your purchase, we will work with a freight company to determine the exact shipping cost for the pallet to your location, from our warehouse in Oregon. We will contact you via email about the additional shipping fees. This process means you won’t pay any more than the exact cost of the shipment.
We can also create a shipping quote for you before you place your order! Please email us at info@swahilimodern.com with your full shipping address to get started.
