We do not know and can not tell you because the African mask was made by people thousands of years ago and we do not know who invented/made or owned them from this far in the past.
in my class of social studies in 2nd grade
It was carved out of wood and it is an african mask wishuknewme@hotmail.co.uk
Hi
Depends on which country the mask is made, they would normally use a locally avaialble wood
=the first mask was made 10000BC=
the first baluba mask was made in 1920
Sometimes for tribal celebrations and sometimes the have a mask that they put behind their head to make a "face" on the back of their head for safety reasons in the jungle because of Big cats usually only pounce on their prey from behind and doing so with the maks it confuses them.
dont really know
its an African mask
African masks are used in rituals, when they are worn by a dancer who dances around a fire with him and other people behind him chanting different prayers in Swahili (African language) Im not an expert but this is what i got from using faithful old google.
