This primitive hand-carved limestone mask comes from Sumba, one of the small islands of the Sunda Archipelago in Oceania.

The headdress is made from coiled jute rope and cowrie shells, symbols of wealth and protection, carefully arranged in rows. The black metal support ensures the stability and enhancement of this art object.
In Sumba tribal culture, such artifacts are usually placed in homes or on altars, to honor ancestors, protect homes and attract prosperity.
A timeless design object steeped in symbolism, this sculpture, at the crossroads of the spiritual and the decorative, will easily find its place in your home:
- In the entrance hall, as the symbolic guardian of your home.

Tribal art: a soul for your interior design
Tribal art has its roots in ancestral traditions, carried on by peoples for whom artistic creation is never purely decorative, but always charged with meaning.
Masks, statuettes and other ritual objects embody protective spirits, ancestors or divinities, and bear witness to skills handed down for centuries.
Integrating a piece of tribal art into your home, like this Sumba stone mask, is more than just choosing a beautiful object: it's bringing a piece of history and culture into your home.
Like all Sumba tribal art objects, this mask tells the story of a thousand-year-old heritage and exudes a primitive force that transcends time, giving your space a unique presence and an assertive character.
In a contemporary setting, tribal art creates a striking contrast. It soothes an overly cold ambience, enriches a minimalist atmosphere, or sublimates a bohemian or ethnic style. On a console, a shelf or at the center of a sideboard, this tribal mask on a stand draws the eye, questions and inspires.
Authentic, timeless and deeply symbolic, tribal art is not a fad: it's an invitation to an inner journey, a bridge between cultures and eras.
- Summary
- Carved by a talented craftsman from the island of Sumba, this primitive black stone mask combines symbolic power with minimalist elegance. A strong decorative piece, at the crossroads of tribal art and modern design.
