Traditional African masks made by people living in the remote Ituri forest are very rare and have since been discovered late. Their masks are especially captivating for their simplicity and their very original painted designs.
This is a very beautiful mask in the style of the Ndaaka. Such a mask is worn by an elder who guides young men into the initiation cycle that makes them adult members of society.
