African masks are an important part of Africa’s ancient tribal traditions, and they are still being made and used today. African tribes believe these masks can provide a vital gateway into the spiritual world when worn during rituals and ceremonies, so they hold a special sacred significance. With so many of these masks now in museums collections around the world, and collected as works of art, it’s easy to forget the great cultural significance they have within the communities that make them.
