The Teke-Tsaye mask from the Democratic Republic of Congo is a traditional ceremonial mask made of light wood, adorned with red clay or padauk and kaolin. It features symbolic motifs of animals and stars, and measures 30 cm by 28 cm. Holes around the perimeter allow for adornments, and the mask has a raised area near the mouth for comfortable wear during rituals. An important study by Raoul Lehuard on Teke-Tsaye masks will be provided with the purchase, along with free worldwide shipping.
