Lwalwa Mfondo mask

The African Lwalwa or Lwalu masks are easily recognized by their characteristic shape. I offer you here a Lwalwa mvondo or mfondo mask from the border between the R. D. Congo and Angola.

The facies is very stylized and abstract with a protruding nose which occupies a large part of the height. The mouth is small and projecting on the same plane as the nose. The flat face is at right angles to a perimeter whose top is decorated with an embossed cap.
