Lwalwa AA637 mask

A Lwalwa mask linked to ceremonies

The Lwalwa AAA637 mask is a wooden piece originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and dating from the mid-20th century. This form of Lwalwa art was worn by dancers during ceremonies. Offered by Versmissen, this brown mask has a striking sculptural character that fits naturally into wall décor with ethnic and antique influences.

Its dimensions of 10,5 x 19 x 43 cm create a particularly pronounced vertical silhouette. This format allows the mask to be displayed alone to emphasise its proportions or incorporated into a decorative arrangement. Its wooden construction and ceremonial context give it a distinct identity. Displayed in a living area or a space dedicated to decorative objects, it draws attention with its relief and height.
