This is a Vintage Hand Carved Wood Baluba Mask of the Luba tribe of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some of the most dazzling masks come from the Luba, or Baluba people. Luba masks are easily recognizable by their intricate patterns of colorful bead work, hammered brass and bronze built on a round wooden base. Though they exhibit exceptional craftsmanship and artistry, these masks are not created as art, but for their supernatural powers. Wearing these masks during ceremonies and rituals, a dancer enters a trance and channels messages from the Luba people's ancestors. Each mask represents a specific spirit, some benevolent, others malevolent; and the Luba believe that these spirits inhabit the wearer’s body during the ceremony. This beautifully detailed Baluba would be a wonderful addition to your collection.
