Known as master boatwrights and merchants, the Duma people of Gabon live along the Ogooue River. They use masks such as this one for social events, initiation rituals and funerals. Ghana's Christopher Nyasafo designs this African mask, hand-carved from a single piece of sese wood. It has an oval face with squinting eyes, a pattern on the forehead, and a tiny smiling mouth with pointed teeth. Accents of recycled glass beads further enhance this stunning mask. beads and jute can vary slightly.
The colors of the beads and cord can vary slightly.

We love it. The use of the primary colors is wonderful, and stays within earth tones. A happy mask, which makes us smile and brightens the room!
