The Songye Kifwebe Mask was hand-carved by the Songye people in the southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kifwebe masks are recognizable by their elongated faces and protruding noses and mouths. These masks are usually painted with natural pigments and are utilized in ritualistic dances as they represent and offer protection from malevolent spirits.Â
