AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I present an original set of ethnographic objects from the colonial era, brought back from the Congo/Zaïre by a Belgian engineer who traversed the country as part of his work.
The collection consists of figurines carved in wood and stone, masks, as well as various utilitarian and representational objects from local cultures.
This diverse assemblage illustrates the richness of artisanal know-how and material traditions of Central Africa at a pivotal moment in its history.
Gathered over time, this lot holds genuine appeal for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of antiques and historical testimonies. The diversity of materials, forms and uses gives the whole a fine coherence and a striking presence that is very characteristic of that period.
Shipping guaranteed within 24 hours, with careful packaging, insurance and tracking.
