Traditional African Masks Part 14 Introduction, use and origin of some African masks 2- Biombo Mask Biombo masks come from the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa. Biombo masks are usually carved from wood and colored with red "tukula" powder, a dye made from the camwood tree. The eyes are a typical coffee bean shape. A triangular checkerboard design is used to decorate the eyebrows and the planes of the face. The three forms at the back of the head represent the Biombo hairstyle. Feathers are often attached to the top of Biombo masks. Biombo masks are usually worn during tribal rituals and ceremonies.

Of all the regions I've researched about masks so far, African masks have the deepest meanings and the most interesting stories.
