ON SALE!! Antique West African Painted Wooden Mask with Ring Headdress (Yellow and Red) home decor African art Wall art

This striking antique West African wooden mask features a vibrant yellow and red palette, consistent with the "Tela mask" description, though "Tela" is not a standard ethnographic term for a specific mask type. The mask's circular face is boldly painted in yellow, with distinctive red, jagged or serrated edges and tear-like markings beneath the eyes. Its eyes are stylized white ovals with red outlines, and the mouth is a rectangular opening with white details. A large, dark, ring-shaped element, possibly a handle or part of a headdress, protrudes from the top of the mask. The mask's simplified yet expressive features and vivid colors suggest its use in dynamic ceremonial dances or rituals, where visual impact and symbolic representation are paramount. The worn paint and aged wood texture affirm its authenticity as an antique cultural artifact.
