    <meta charset="UTF-8" />This Vuvi mask is a traditional piece from Gabon, characteristic of the peoples living in the forest region. Made from wood, it is distinguished by its kaolin-bleached surface, used in many African masks to symbolize purity, spirituality and ancestors. Subtle geometric patterns and clean lines accentuate facial features, reflecting a minimalist yet expressive aesthetic typical of Vuvi cultures.

    Vuvi masks were traditionally used in ritual or initiation ceremonies, particularly in contexts associated with ancestors or protective spirits. Their whiteness also refers to the role of healers and protective rites.
