Figures and masks are the two types of African wood carving that are most frequently seen. Home interiors and exteriors, bars, clubs, resorts, hallways, and other public areas can all be adorned with these carvings. These carvings can also be used to commemorate special occasions or give them as gifts. African wood carvings are a wonderful way to bring a little bit of African culture into your house or place of business. Various types of wood, including iron wood, ebony wood, mahogany wood, mukwa wood, and jacaranda wood, among others, can be used to create these carvings. These carvings are sometimes painted in a variety of hues and designs.

The yellow hornbill, one of the species that can be found in the Senufo region, is regarded as the supreme bird and a representation of intellectual strength. Its yellow head is compared to the red caps worn by the elder Senufos, who, like the bird, represent wisdom and power.
