What tools are used to make African masks?

African masks are traditionally made using a variety of tools such as carving knives, chisels, rasps, and gouges. These tools are used to shape and sculpt the wood or other materials used to create the mask. In addition, sandpaper and polishing tools may be used to refine the surface of the mask and bring out its details. Finally, paintbrushes and pigments are used to add color and decorative elements to the finished mask.
