Kwele “Ekuk” heart mask from Gabon, carved in wood with the classic sweeping horn frame that curls around the face. These masks were traditionally hung in the village during Bwete rites to calm tensions, settle unrest and restore harmony after illness, conflict or loss. Their presence was believed to invite protective forest spirits and bring a sense of balance back to the community.
This example has a soft, timeworn surface with traces of white kaolin, a colour associated with peace and clarity. The narrow eyes and gentle expression give it a quiet stillness that adds to the mask’s grounding feel. A striking heart-shaped form with real age and character, perfect as a symbolic piece for a home that values calm and protection.
Small vintage lacquer box with a hand painted still life on the lid. The artwork shows fruit in rich reds and golds, framed with delicate gilt detailing. The surface has gentle wear and speckling from age, which gives it that soft, timeworn character rather than a perfect gloss.

A powerful Cameroon ceremonial helmet mask carved from a single block of dense hardwood. The weight alone tells its story. At 2.5 kg, it has the presence and gravity of a piece that was made to be worn in ritual, not produced for the tourist market. The broad, domed form and expressive features create a striking silhouette, softened by the worn pigment and the slow patina of age.
There is a real sense of character in the carving, from the raised triangular chest to the deep set eyes and the toothy grin. It feels both protective and enigmatic, exactly what you want from an old ceremonial mask. The surface carries the marks of handling, use, and time, giving it a texture that only comes from decades of life.
A commanding sculptural piece for a shelf or console.
