Togu'na's African mask collection gathers hand-carved masks sourced directly from carving traditions across West and Central Africa, from the Baule and Guro of Ivory Coast to the Fang of Cameroon and Gabon, the Yoruba and Igbo of Nigeria, and the Chokwe and Kwele of the Congo Basin. Each African tribal mask is catalogued individually by maker tradition and size, so the decor mask arriving at your door is exactly the one pictured.
Masking traditions differ widely across the cultures represented here. A Baule Sun Mask from Ivory Coast carries a rounded, radiating form quite unlike the elongated Fang mask carved in Cameroon and Gabon, while a Bwa 'Papillon' mask takes its name from its broad, wing-like silhouette. Togu'na does not generalise these traditions into a single story — each listing explains what is actually known about that specific piece's origin and form.
A single large carved mask, such as a Bwa Papillon piece, works as a standalone focal point above a sofa or console. Smaller passport-format masks, like the Marka or Kwele pieces in this collection, group well in twos or threes at varying heights for a gallery-style arrangement. Pairing an African ceremonial mask with a decor shield or a carved animal figure nearby builds a layered curio wall without overcrowding it.
Togu'na ships every African mask fast from our Randburg, Gauteng showroom to addresses across South Africa, and we fulfil international orders for customers in the USA, the UK, and across Europe who collect authentic African tribal art.
Our range includes both. Some pieces reference specific ceremonial mask traditions, such as the Chokwe and Yoruba masks, while others are carved primarily as decorative wall pieces. Each product listing states what is known about that individual piece.
Sizes vary from compact passport-format masks suited to a gallery wall, up to large single-feature pieces over a metre tall, such as the Bwa Papillon mask at 130H.
Yes. Togu'na ships nationwide across South Africa and internationally, including to the USA, UK, and Europe.
Use a wall hook or D-ring rated for the mask's weight, and check for an existing hanging point on the reverse before drilling new fixings.
