Dating from the mid-20th century, it features an oval face with dark geometric patterns that contrast with the natural tone of the wood. Its patinated surface bears witness to its age and use. The oval openings around the eyes define its expression.

The rectangular mouth reveals carved teeth, another distinctive detail of this piece. Made of wood and measuring 29 x 15,5 x 37 cm, this mask belongs to the wall decoration category. Its design combines graphic lines, carved reliefs and natural shades. It provides tangible evidence of the art and cultural and ceremonial traditions of the Ituri tribe.
