Introduction, use and origin of some African masks 
5- Goma masks 
The Goma people occupy a small area at the northwestern end of Lake Tanganyika in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They produce masks and shield-like carvings which are remarkable for their abstract design, with great emphasis on the eyes, protrusion for the mouth. This mask is made of wood.
Goma masks are easily identified by their elongated cylindrical forms, domed heads, large concave eye sockets with protruding eyes and their decoration with geometric abstract patterns.
