Mouth of the Mask Tee | Nigerian Geometric Yoke Design | Black Crew Neck

The Mouth of the Mask Tee offers a contemporary take on African artistry. Featuring a striking geometric pattern across the chest yoke, this black T-shirt channels the dramatic visual impact of traditional Nigerian ceremonial masks, delivering a cultural narrative with minimalist style.

The Story Behind the Design

The "Mouth of the Mask" pattern is directly inspired by the intricate carvings and painted designs found on ceremonial masks (such as those of the Igbo or Yoruba people). The downward-pointing V-shape is often the focal point, symbolizing speech, wisdom, and the powerful voice of the ancestors. The yellow, blue, and white pattern itself represents spiritual guidance and light.
