Styling African wall decor
African wall decor works best with space around it. Leave a hand's width between masks in a group, align the group to an imaginary center line, and light it from the side so carving casts shadow. Pair masks with [African American sculptures] for a room with depth.
Choosing a mask
Choose by size first, then by character. A large animal-head piece such as the Lion Head anchors a wall on its own; smaller ceremonial mask designs work best in groups. Check the listed dimensions against the wall, and leave room around the mask so its shape reads clearly. If you are building a group, mix one larger piece with two or four smaller ones.
Hanging a mask safely
Use a wall anchor rated for the mask's weight, especially on drywall. Hang it at eye level, about 57 to 60 inches to the center, the same height galleries use for art. Check the hanger on the back before hanging and re-check it once a year.
Masks as gifts
A handmade mask is a strong housewarming gift for anyone who loves heritage decor; check the listed size so it suits the recipient's wall.
Caring for a mask
Dust with a soft dry brush. Keep carved wood away from direct sun, radiators and damp rooms, which can crack or fade natural wood.
