Una réplica fiel de las famosas "Máscaras Blancas de los Ogooue", esta máscara personifica un espíritu ancestral de los pueblos Kota y Mukudji de Gabón. Conocido como "Punu", se cree que el espíritu ancestral guía a uno al más allá; Las máscaras punu están reservadas para las festividades importantes del pueblo. Salihu Ibrahim Talla a mano la máscara de madera de sese con ojos entreabiertos y labios ligeramente fruncidos. La frente está adornada con un distintivo motivo en forma de diamante; está coronado con un peinado estilizado. Una vez tallada la máscara y la madera se ha secado completamente, se trata con arcilla para que parezca una pieza antigua.

This mask is quite beautiful on my wall. It is so life like several of my children have committed how it makes them feel when sitting down. Just what I was looking for in a mask.

This is a really beautiful and impressive mask. It contrasts, colors and work is really excellent. You cannot avoid saying a wow when you unwrap it from its box. Highly recommended.
