Masks

They are powerful symbols, often used in ceremonies, festivals and rituals, representing spirits, ancestors and deities, as well as ideals of beauty, virtue and character. At African Arte Lisboa, we offer a distinctive range of authentic masks, each with its own unique story and meaning, molded and hand-painted by talented African artisans.
