Tikar Ceremonial Mask – Cameroon This dynamic artwork expresses movementThis authentic African ceremonial mask originates from the Tikar people of Cameroon. Carved from solid wood, the mask features a strong, expressive face with a pronounced nose, narrow eyes, and an open mouth showing carved teeth.
