Large hand-carved African tribal mask featuring an elongated vertical face with stylized minimalist eyes, nose, and mouth, framed by a light woven fiber border. The eyes are inlaid with cowrie shells, a traditional decorative element in West African carving associated with protection, wealth, and spiritual symbolism.

The surface displays intricate carved patterns across the forehead, cheeks, and mouth, with dark-stained wood and tool-cut detailing visible throughout. The reverse shows the solid carved wooden body typical of masks produced for ceremonial, cultural, or decorative use in regions such as Ivory Coast, Liberia, or Sierra Leone.

A striking wall piece with strong sculptural presence and authentic tribal aesthetic.
