Product description
This is a traditional Karanga mask from the Mossi people of Burkina Faso. The mask is handcrafted from wood and has an authentic tribal look. The geometric patterns and earth tones give it a unique and cultural aesthetic. Perfect for lovers of African art and culture.
Karanga masks are traditionally used during funerals to accompany the deceased and serve as a means of communication with the dead. They are also placed on family altars.
These masks embody totem animals for specific clans and can establish a direct spiritual connection between the wearer and their ancestors.
Karanga masks are produced mainly in the northeastern Yatenga region of Mossi country, which is home to two different species of antelope.
