African Masks are traditional works of art used in cultural and spiritual ceremonies across the African continent. In African cultures, these masks may depict significant cultural figures, ancestors, or animals that hold symbolic value. They may vary greatly in size, shape, and decoration.
For centuries, African masks have been used in religious rituals, social events, and cultural rites of passage. In addition to wood, clay, and metal, they are often decorated with beads, hair, and other textiles. African masks often have decorative elements, patterns, and colors that symbolize specific aspects of their culture.African artisans skillfully use different types of wood, such as mahogany, ebony, teak, and more, to create intricate sculptures, masks, and other objects of art. Woodcarving in African art involves the use of traditional hand tools, such as adzes, chisels, knives, and gouges, to shape the wood into desired forms.
