FAQs

Our collection spans West and Central Africa, featuring masks from Burkina Faso, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, and Ghana. Bwa masks from Burkina Faso are a highlight – including sun masks and animal forms like antelope, elephant, butterfly, and chameleon – known for their bold geometric patterns and flat, carved profiles.

From Gabon, we have Kwele masks with their heart-shaped faces and wide eyes, alongside Fang masks with elongated, minimalist features.

You’ll also find pieces from the Baule and Senufo cultures, each reflecting distinct carving traditions. While most of our masks are rooted in traditional forms and ceremonial use, we also feature contemporary African-inspired designs.

We curate African masks for their craftsmanship, cultural accuracy, and material quality.
Our collection features work carved by African artisans using traditional techniques and genuine hardwoods from their regions.

What we look for:

  • Cultural authenticity – African masks that honor their true tribal and ethnic origins, not replicas or copies from other regions.
  • Timber quality – hardwoods that age beautifully and develop rich character over time.
  • Craftsmanship – symmetry, detail work, and skilled carving.
  • Natural finish – the wood’s natural aging process creates depth and warmth you can’t replicate artificially.


Traditional African masks follow designs passed down through generations for purposes like ceremonies, protection, healing, and storytelling.
Contemporary African masks are creative works by individual carvers – still rooted in cultural tradition and handmade using ancestral techniques, but with artistic freedom.
Both approaches honor their origins. The difference is purpose: one serves ritual function, the other celebrates artistic heritage.

What we avoid: Mass-produced pieces, culturally inaccurate copies, and masks made outside their region of origin.

We take great care in packing and sending all our Artefacts – these are fragile and rare pieces that demand the utmost care and consideration, so they arrive at their end destination in the same condition as when they left Africa.

Shipping costs and delivery timeframes are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.
We offer free shipping Australia-wide for orders over $90. Full details are available on our shipping page.
