African masks: culture and meaning
Fascinating and attractive, African masks have a special meaning. They are true cultural symbols in Africa. The different African tribes are easily recognizable and identifiable because they have their own masks. What does not differ from one tribe or country to another is the symbolism that people give to masks. All are associated with power and knowledge.
Several African societies consider masks to be sacred objects. They are perceived as an intermediary between the world of the dead and the world of the living. They are also synonymous with protection.
