Victor Yao Delanyo celebrates Congo traditions with this elegant mask, reserved for tribal chiefs, or baluba. Oval in shape, the mask features big round eyes and a half-open mouth; the expression is one of wisdom and solemnity. Delanyo carves the mask by hand from local sese wood. He uses manual tools, some of his own making, in order to achieve the refined detailing that embellishes the mask.

Purchased the set of masks to give as a gift to add to collection of masks I started for family member during a trip to South Africa. Family member was quite happy. Will likely be used as Christmas ornaments.
