Nuna Plank Mask with Standing Figure — Burkina Faso
73 cm | Carved wood, two-tone patina | Vintage tribal art
A tall ceremonial plank mask topped by a finely carved standing figure, with fine incised body markings and a striking geometric diamond motif carved into the plank base — a hallmark of Nuna carving from central Burkina Faso. Danced during initiation and funerary ceremonies to invoke ancestral spirit presence. Rich, age-consistent two-tone patina throughout.
