African Masks play a central role in traditional, ceremonial and tribal life in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although the rituals associated with Masks vary within African cultures, traits such as social, spiritual and religious gatherings are shared.
Mask-making is a treasured art form passed down generations, from father to son. For artists who create Masks and the chosen ones who wear masks in village ceremonies, a special status is associated - with masks holding a deep symbolism - such as warrior strength, courage and the spirit of ancestors.
African Masks are made of various materials - leather, metal, fabric and different types of wood - and these, African Collectibles Masks, come in many colors, such as red, brown, orange and black.
