Five Carved Wooden Masks – African and Tiki-Inspired 

A group of five carved wooden masks representing a blend of African tribal and Tiki-style influences. The set includes:

• A mask with vertical prongs and a central carved figure, similar in form to a Bambara hunter mask from Mali
• A dark-toned mask with a wide mouth, inset eyes, and a central ridge flanked by triangular cutouts
• A mask framed by a rectangular border with pronounced facial features
• Two elongated masks with painted dot patterns and incised detailing, one incorporating crocodile motifs and the other decorated in polychrome patterns

Elements such as cowrie shell inlays, raffia, feathers, and painted designs are used across the group. Each mask shows distinct styling, form, and carving traditions.
