This is a wonderful Hand Carved Wood Bamun Mask from the Grasslands of Cameroon, in West Africa. This extraordinary mask has the bold facial features, wide jowls, smiling mouth, broad nose and always having some object on its head. They share some of the same characteristics in mask style with their neighbors the Bamileke tribal people. Masks with large head crests were danced at the various courts in the Grasslands. They appeared at ceremonies with the planting and harvesting, entertainment as well as used in initiation. Masks like this were used in initiation and for educational purposes. It is truly a unique mask with all the style of the Bamun tribal artists and would be a wonderful addition to your collection.
