African masks are traditional artifacts deeply rooted in the cultural, spiritual, and artistic heritage of Africa. Created by skilled artisans, they are crafted from materials like wood, metal, fabric, or beads and are often adorned with vibrant colors, intricate carvings, and symbolic motifs. Masks serve various purposes, including rituals, ceremonies, storytelling, and entertainment. They play significant roles in spiritual practices, connecting wearers with ancestors, spirits, or deities. Each mask reflects the identity, beliefs, and values of the community it represents, making African masks not only artistic expressions but also profound symbols of cultural identity and tradition.
