Mask

Goma
masks are characterised by their domed heads, elongated forms, large
concave eyes that are highlighted by a change of colour, protruding
mouths and abstract geometric designs carved on the face and forehead.
The
triangular checkerboard design in this mask is typical of their
surface decoration.
The
Goma people come from the north-west corner of Lake Tanganyika in
the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Goma
is a city one kilometer from the Rwandan Border
