Beautiful imports from Africa,

Hand-carved African masks from across the continent, each one finished by a single artisan from a single piece of wood. Every mask in this collection is one-of-a-kind. No two grains, no two stains, no two carvings are exactly alike.
Our masks come from artisan families and cooperatives in Cameroon (Bamileke spiral and flower shields), Nigeria (Yoruba Gelede and Egungun), Ghana (Asante and Akan), Mali (Bambara), Ivory Coast (Baule and Dan), and central Africa (Chokwe and Punu). Some are ceremonial pieces retired from village use. Some are contemporary work made in the same traditional styles the artisan’s grandmother carved.
We have been sourcing directly for over 40 years. When a mask isn’t right, we don’t buy it. When a price is unfair to the maker, we pay more. This is why our shop stays small and why every piece has a story we can tell you.
Hand-carved variations in the wood grain, the depth of the relief, and the finish are part of the artistry, not defects. Machine copies do not have these signatures.
Display in groups of three or five on a wall for impact. Lean one against a shelf for a quieter placement. Rotate them seasonally if you’re building a collection. Dust with a soft cloth, and once a year rub the wood with a small amount of natural oil to bring out the grain.
