Tribal Masks

Tribal masks are traditionally crafted objects used by indigenous communities during rituals, ceremonies, and cultural events. They often symbolize spirits, ancestors, or deities and serve as a means to connect with the spiritual world, tell stories, or uphold social order. Made from materials like wood, metal, or fabric, these masks feature symbolic designs and colors that convey specific meanings. Beyond their spiritual significance, tribal masks also function as artistic expressions reflecting the community’s beliefs, history, and identity. Their use varies across cultures, and they remain important cultural symbols both within their communities and in global art.
