Mask (1) - Raphia, Wood - Congo DRC - 1st half 20th century

Large Lega mask Here is a Lega mask of very beautiful quality; speaking, alive, with a strong and mysterious expression, which connects us to the invisible spirits' world. Its wide forehead, its large arches and its long nose give rhythm to its face, with marked and harmonious reliefs. Superb crusty patina, with a contrast of bare wood and kaolin. It is still endowed with its long raffia beard, indispensable for its use. An exceptional piece. Provenance : Private Belgian collection Certification on request Shipping : Insured, tracked and traced Pick up possible at our gallery in Brussels (Sablon)
