Naga Tribal Carved Panel with Six Mask Faces – Antique Wood Totem

A striking antique Naga totem panel from Nagaland, Northeast India, carved with six mask faces arranged in pairs at the crown. Below the faces, the full length of the panel is covered in hand-chipped texture and layered ceremonial arcs — every mark made with traditional hand tools.

Among Naga carvings, multi-face panels are rarer than single-figure pieces. The faces traditionally represent the heads of a lineage, watching over the household. The dark patina and weathered edges are original to the piece.

How to use it: At this height it works best leaned against a wall — in a stairwell, entryway, or beside a fireplace. The graphic mask faces read clearly even from across a room, which makes it a strong piece for hotels, lobbies, and minimalist interiors.
