Tribal masks (also known as broodoo masks) are a member's only set of masks worn in the headwear slot. They provide no bonuses.
Tribal masks come in three different colours and can be obtained by either defeating a Broodoo victim during the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup activity or through purchasing it from either the Grand Exchange or another player.
A player with level 35 Crafting can convert the mask into a Broodoo shield by using a hammer on it, with two snakeskins and eight nails (of any type) in your inventory. This gives 100 Crafting experience points. However, demand for the shields on the Grand Exchange is very low, so if a player is looking to profit from the tribal masks, it is recommended they sell them as they are, to avoid being left with a shield that isn't selling. Tribal masks can be stored in the Armour case of the Costume room in a Player-owned house.

Trivia
- The mask appears a lot smaller on the chathead than on the character him/herself. The chathead version overlaps the face, but on the actual character model, the mask falls just past the character's chest.
- The Lumbridge sage appears to have a blue tribal mask on his rug of items next to him.
- If you talk to any of the villagers in Tai Bwo Wannai while wearing the mask, they'll be scared thinking you're a broodoo victim coming to kill them.
- Until about December 2010, the masks were around 60-70k on the Grand Exchange. As 2011 started, they dropped about 3000% in a few months.
- There is currently a bug where having a hammer on your toolbelt does not allow you to make a broodoo shield. The right-click craft-shield option does not work properly. As a result, you must have a hammer (or Golden Hammer) in your inventory and use it on the tribal mask.
- Since the update of eating, using a tribal mask still has the old eating animation than before the update.
