{"product_id":"songye-kifwebe-bird-mask-carved-wood-animal-spirit-dr-congo","title":"Songye Kifwebe Bird Mask | Carved Wood Animal Spirit | DR Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart ceremonial force, part wild spirit — this Songye Kifwebe zoomorphic mask blends human and animal form into one of the most rare and striking expressions of Central African wood carving. Hand-carved with the signature deep striations of the Kifwebe tradition, this piece takes on a bird or animal character that sets it apart from standard face masks. Among the Songye of the DRC, zoomorphic Kifwebe masks occupy a special place in the spiritual hierarchy. Where human-form Kifwebe masks channel ancestral or social forces, animal-form variants invoke the power of specific creatures — their speed, vision, or predatory strength — to serve the community during critical ceremonies. The beak-like projection and carved feather or fur detailing make this a truly unusual collector's find. Hang it as a gallery wall centerpiece or pair it with natural materials, woven art, and earth-toned textiles. It works in boho, afrocentric, and contemporary art-forward interiors. Material: Solid wood, hand-carved Size: 21 x 13 x 12 inches Origin: Democratic Republic of Congo (Songye tradition) Note: Handmade — each zoomorphic mask is unique in its animal interpretation and carved detail. Bring home more than decor — bring home a piece of artistry and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21 x 13 x 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDisplay \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall Hanging — a wire or hook is included on the back for easy mounting.
