Vintage African Punu Okuy Mask Hand Carved Wood Gabon Mukudj Tribal Face Art 16"

This striking, hand-carved wooden mask is a beautiful representation of traditional Punu artistry from Gabon. It features the classic Mukudj design, showcasing a stylized high-domed coiffure, arched brows, and the characteristic diamond scarification on the forehead. The face is adorned with aged kaolin white pigment, which has developed a wonderful, weathered patina over time, emphasizing its authentic vintage character. A remarkable statement piece, it is perfect for collectors of African ethnographic art or as an eye-catching element for eclectic wall decor.
