Μάσκα Kabongo - Kuba - Λαϊκή Δημοκρατία του Κονγκό
Although this mask is Kuba in origin, it is heavily influenced by the Kete of the north, a
group that is more or less subordinate to the Bushoong kingdom. The Kete call it Kabongo and use it in
ceremonies that mark the end of initiation. The Kete influence is evident in the decoration of the forehead
and chin with small white triangles; the chin is concave, accentuated, elongated, and pointed;
the eyes are conical with white stripes from base to tip, surrounded by a circular line of holes that
pierce the mask. The general shape of the mask and the forehead, which is regular and slightly rounded, the
copper applications on the forehead and nose, and the patterned fabric neck cover are Kuba.
