This is a wonderful Mbete Blue and White Carved Wood Mask from the People of Gabon. Mbete are great carves of masks and statues. The faces of the Mbete faces show a prominent forehead overhanging a hollow receding face with a rectangular mouth and broadly carved features. They are thought to have a connection with the ancestor’s cult and they were either used as reliquaries or placed alongside ancestor bones in a basket. The massive reliquary figures, statues and masks of the Mbete are cubist in structure, the hairdo having clearly marked gradations, and the face frequently being painted white. This would be a great addition to your home or collection.
