Hand Craved African Tribal Zulu Mask

Size: 25 cm diameter

An unusual hand carved wooden African tribal mask that is set in the colors of black, brown and white. The African Tribal mask has traditional patterns over the face and set in a round shape. This African tribal mask originates from South Africa and has been hand carved by the members of the Zulu tribe

The Zulu people are not known for their mask making as African masks never really played a big part in the Zulu culture. The Zulu's are more known for their Zulu weapons, shields, drums, bead work, grass baskets etc... The mask has become a more modern attire to the Zulu crafter's woodworking

This Zulu mask which can be found around South Africa in many homes is a more ornamental mask than a mystical mask with powers. The modern Zulu uses his carving skill to make masks that look good in the home.

Each Zulu mask is an "original" work of art, individually hand carved, no two are exactly alike which adds to the value of each piece. The original nature of tribal art will be reflected by variances from the Zulu mask as shown, each piece of a specific style is similar, but not identical.
