BENA BIOMBO STYLE
HELMET MASKS
Despite their appearance these Bena Biombo masks were probably made to be sold.

Bena Biombo masks share characteristics with masks of the Kuba and Eastern Pende in form and in painted patterns. They are usually red and recognizable by the three short stubs on the top that refer to a hair style.
