Description
Tribal Masks
Ritual and ceremonial masks are an essential feature of the traditional culture and art of the peoples of Subsaharan and West Africa. While the specific implications associated to ritual masks widely vary in different cultures, some traits are common to most African cultures. Masks usually have a spiritual and religious meaning and they are used in ritual dances and social and religious events, and a special status is attributed to those that wear them in ceremonies.
