Who says art has to stay on the wall? These Baluba Mask Tie-Backs take a piece of Congolese history and put it right where you can touch it every day.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Luba people use these serene, wide-eyed faces to welcome guests of honor. By using them to hold back your curtains, you’re doing exactly that—opening your home, letting the light in, and welcoming the world with a touch of ancient “good luck.”

Why These Belong in Your Home:

  • Art with a Job to Do: Most people hang their masks in a frame. These are functional sculptures. They turn the simple act of opening your curtains into a moment of heritage and style.

  • A Handcrafted Welcome: These aren’t just hooks; they are detailed reproductions of the masks worn at royal inaugurations. They carry a spirit of prestige and “new beginnings” into any room.

  • Small Details, Big Impact: Sold as a pair, they bring a balanced, “Afro-chic” symmetry to your windows. The warm, dark tones of the masks provide a stunning contrast against light linen or bold, colorful drapes.

  • A Daily Ritual: Every morning when you pull back your curtains, you’re greeted by a face that represents hospitality and favor. It’s a beautiful way to start the day.

Bring a layer of soulful, African texture to your windows. It’s the kind of small detail that makes a house feel like a curated home.
