On offer is a captivating hand-carved African tribal mask, most likely originating from the Ghana region of West Africa, known for its deeply symbolic woodcarving traditions. This exquisite piece features inlaid mother of pearl detailing, arranged in geometric tribal motifs that reflect cultural symbolism and ancestral reverence.

Meticulously carved from a single piece of richly toned wood, the mask depicts a serene, closed-eyed expression, representing spiritual focus and inner peace—common themes in Ghanaian ceremonial art. The outer rim is bordered with tightly woven natural rattan, a traditional technique that not only enhances its durability but also adds aesthetic warmth and texture.

The inlay work is a standout feature—composed of fine, iridescent mother of pearl, arranged in precise, triangle-based patterns across the forehead, cheeks, and lips. These motifs often represent protective energies, status, and lineage in West African tribal traditions.

This piece is in very good vintage condition, showing only minimal surface wear consistent with age. It measures approximately 12 inches in height and 7.75 inches in width and is ready to be wall-mounted or displayed as a unique sculptural conversation piece.
