Magnificent Pende mask - Pende - DR Congo (No Reserve Price)
HANGED CONGO WOODEN MASK D. R. C.
The Pendé people
Known for being one of the only peoples to have had the audacity to face the firepower of the Portuguese invaders, this people was nicknamed by their neighbors – for whom their attitude bordered on unconsciousness – the Pendé: What wants say “the rebels”.
Long later, when the Pendé revolt broke out in 1931 against the colonial authority of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Belgians ended up admitting that they were indeed dealing with a rebellious people. The settlers called them Tupende, which means: “little rebels” while the Pendé preferred to be called Apende, which means: “big rebels”.
