According to the Google Search I did, it appears that the Luba Masks are Native to Congo and/or Zambia.
Perhaps you’re a bit off the mark there?
A hand carved Angel is, however, featured as Native Art of Ghana and priced at 59.99$ at Overstock. [Link given below for your reference.]

Ah, no, the Luba or baLuba live in the southern DR Congo and the nearby parts of Zambia, including near to the Kasai and Lualaba Rivers.
