PALO MAYOMBE – Original 1/1 Tiki Mask Hand-Painted by Fat Belly Shark (2026)
$295.00
ONE OF ONE. INSPIRED BY ANCIENT RITUALS, CARIBBEAN MYSTICISM, AND DARK TIKI ART!
From the mysterious world of Caribbean spiritual traditions comes “Palo Mayombe,” an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind Tiki mask custom hand-painted by Fat Belly Shark in 2026.
This striking creation draws inspiration from the powerful symbolism and nail rituals associated with Palo Mayombe, an Afro-Cuban spiritual tradition with Central African roots.
Featuring enormous hypnotic eyes, an unsettling toothy grin, and actual metal nails protruding from its eyes, this mask captures a dark, mysterious aesthetic unlike anything else in a traditional Tiki collection.
THE STORY BEHIND THE CREATION
Inspired by the ritual symbolism associated with Palo Mayombe practitioners in the Caribbean, Fat Belly Shark created this piece as an artistic interpretation of mystery, spiritual power, and ancient ceremonial traditions.
The most dramatic feature is undoubtedly the metal nails embedded into the mask's eyes, creating an intense visual effect reminiscent of ritual objects and spiritual symbolism.
The hand-painted finish combines vibrant ceremonial reds, aged yellows, weathered browns, and dark accents, while intricate geometric patterns add another layer of visual complexity.
Every brushstroke, distressed texture, and carefully placed nail contributes to the haunting personality of this extraordinary creation.
Dimensions: Approximately 32" tall × 14" wide
