Product Description Powerful african male mask

Powerful mask Kifwebe male (he has a ridge on the top of the head that begins from the nose). The shape is beautiful with the slit eyes, triangular nose and the ridge that converge down to the front. The patina is gorgeous with these bands of white, black and reddish brown that contribute to give the mask a high power and presence. Kifwebe masks participate in initiations, funerals and circumcisions. The male masks do not have the same attitude that the female masks. By adopting an aggressive and surprising attitude they promote social conformity and compliance with the rules of society.
