Details

The Baluba people are grassland and forest-dwelling hunters who make up the largest ethnic group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and are also known for their traditional masks. Emmanuel Austin Ankude draws inspiration from their forms, hand-carving this mask from African sese wood through a process that takes weeks to complete. Worn during rituals of the new moon or for honouring ancestors, this piece makes a striking and characteristic addition to any interior.

I am so pleased with the African Baga mask carved so expertly by artisan Emmanuel Austin Ankude! ????
