A striking Kwele antelope mask from Gabon
Hand-carved by the Kwele people of the rainforests of Gabon and the Republic of the Congo, these 'Ekuk' masks are known for their serene, minimalist geometry. The signature heart-shaped face is finished in white kaolin clay and set against bold, dark-stained antelope horns — the antelope a symbol of forest spirits, traditionally invoked to bring social harmony and peace.
Clean, sculptural lines make it a natural statement piece in a contemporary or eclectic interior — striking hung on a wall or leaned against a shelf. Hand-carved from wood with natural pigments, with the small variations in tone and finish of a genuine handmade piece.
Size: H 60cm x W 20cm x D 12cm
