Punu Mukudj Container Candle

Inspired by the Mukudj masks of the Punu people, who primarily reside in Gabon and surrounding regions of Central Africa, this candle honors their artistic and spiritual legacy. Mukudj masks, with their serene expressions, high foreheads, and elaborate coiffures, represent idealized female ancestors and embody beauty, wisdom, and connection to the spirit world. Traditionally, these white-painted masks are worn in dance ceremonies to honor the dead, ensure community well-being, and bridge the gap between the living and ancestral spirits.

Crafted from high-quality soy wax, this 7 oz candle captures the elegance and sacred artistry of Punu traditions. Share this candle as a gift or invite the rich heritage of the Punu into your home and celebrate artistry, history, and connection.
