The Songwe mask sits beautifully on the wall as an art piece, or it can be mounted on a stand. Bold, geometric shapes and stripes, combined with soft pastel colours makes the Songwe mask a focal point of any living space.
Masks are important elements in the art of many African tribes, along with human figures, which are often highly stylized. African masks influenced European Modernist art, such as Cubism and Expressionism, through the use of geometric and distorted human forms, influencing Modernist artists to move away from true-life depiction.
