This is a wonderful African Carved Wood Bush Cow Buffalo Mask from the Tabwa Tribe of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This powerful mask depicting a Buffalo head with massive horns known as a Kiyunde mask among the the Tabwa people. Carved from a single piece of wood and given a pair of cowrie shell eyes. This Kiyunde mask portrays a male wild buffalo and appears wearing a costume composed of animal skins and grasses. It dances with a companion mask depicting a female. The Tabwa identify wild buffalo with their strength and behavior with chiefs and their culture heroes. The name buffalo is also given to the circumcised boys. A really unique mask hat would be a great addition to your collection or home.
