    Description

    A Punu-Lumbo mask is a tribal mask native to the Ogooue River basin in Gabon, especially in the south of Ngounie Province. The masks are Punu masks that represent idealized female ancestors' faces. The mask is genderless; white is a symbol of peace, deities, spirits of the dead, and the afterlife. The masks are typically oval in shape, with narrowed eyes, arched eyebrows, and small ears. Male dancers are known to wear masks while dancing. The dimension is 11 inches high by 7.50 wide, with the display stand being 15 inches high.
    Note; Picture is an exact representation of the mask and the mask is being sold together with the stand. If you want the mask without the display stand, let us know and you will get an extra .00 off.
