Mask - Wood - Lega - DR Congo
Beautiful very old mask of the Lega people from Congo, who live in the Itiri area. As usual with the Lega, the mask is covered with a layer of kaolin which also includes mica deposits. The type of wood is ricinodendron with juice lines as they occur in this area. Small tear at the bottom. Very nice professional pedestal. From a Belgian collection. Then collection Brian Nault - USA. Currently in my Dutch collection.
