Bring sculptural character and Rwandan cultural identity to your walls with this hand-carved Nyiginya Kingdom couple mask set from Rwanda.
Designed as a complementary pair, the two elongated wooden faces create a strong vertical composition with expressive hand-carved features and a distinctive sculptural presence.
The name Nyiginya connects the piece to Rwanda’s historic royal heritage. The Nyiginya dynasty ruled the precolonial Kingdom of Rwanda and remains an important part of the country’s historical identity.
Rather than overwhelming the design with ornament, the slender forms and carved facial details allow the natural character of the wood and the artisan’s workmanship to remain the focus.
At approximately 15 inches tall, these masks are versatile enough for a living room, bedroom, entryway, dining area, hallway, or African-inspired gallery wall.
