The significance of the African Mask has a divine and mystical history in Africa. A very important part of that history includes the traditional African tribal masks that were crafted to help communicate with ancestors. The African masks are an important part of African ceremonies, rituals, initiations, celebrations and secret communities. The use of African masks typically involve song, prayer and dance, which has always been an integral part of African culture. It is for this reason that the African mask can be viewed as an obvious work of sculptural art, but because of its function, it is also considered a performance art form. African masks are mostly crafted from indigenous African wood. They are often decorated with paints, cowrie shells, colored glass, nails, plant fibers, horns and metal adornments. Although these African masks are not typically used during rituals today, due to cultural modernization, the beauty and spirit of these masks are still captured by the African artists that handcraft them.
