Standing at an impressive 35 inches, this hand-carved wooden and multi-media adorned sculpture serves as a powerful focal point for a luxury living room, high-ceiling entryway, or executive suite.\n\nThis piece is inspired by the legendary ritual and royal court traditions of the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin. In Yoruba art, intricate beadwork and cowrie shells are sacred symbols reserved for royalty, high priests, and ancestral manifestations, representing divine wisdom and spiritual authority. The core of the mask is sculpted from dense wood and beautifully transformed by a dense mosaic of multi-colored glass micro-beads in striking orange, blue, yellow, and red geometric patterns. The tall, tiered crown structure features carved ridges accented by beaded bands and authentic cowrie shells arranged in distinctive floral motifs. Hand-embossed metal sheeting with delicate stippling patterns frames the forehead and upper cheeks, contrasting beautifully with the smooth, dark patina of the heavy eyelids and lips.\n\nPerfect for creating a premium gallery wall, accenting a stylish entryway, or adding character to a professional office shelf or library display. Its dramatic lines, shimmering textures, and deep cultural heritage add instant character to contemporary, eclectic, or minimalist interiors.\n\nDetails:\n\nMaterial: 100% Hand-carved Wood, Glass Micro-beads, Embossed Metal \u0026amp; Cowrie Shells\n\nSize: 38 x 17 x 12 inches\n\nOrigin: Nigeria, West Africa\n\nPlease Note: This mask is configured for wall display and does not include a standalone display stand or wall-mounting hardware.\n\nDue to the handmade nature of this item, each piece features unique variations in the beadwork layout, hammered metal detailing, and hand-finished contours that make your mask a truly one-of-a-kind treasure.\n\nBring home more than decor—bring home a piece of artistry and heritage.","brand":"kivuhome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48970570334427,"sku":null,"price":579.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1951\/3051\/files\/71c53a61-il_fullxfull.8226010942_1x9j.jpg?v=1783931080","url":"https:\/\/kivuhome.com\/ha\/products\/yoruba-beaded-mask-38-large-hand-carved-wood-brass-mask-wall-art","provider":"kivuhome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
