Wakemia Spoon - Dan - Côte d'Ivoire

This week I share with you a remarkable collection of objects gathered in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 2000s by a well-informed traveler with a keen understanding of traditional arts. They are pieces that are being released for the first time, never exhibited nor offered for sale before. Among this collection, the must-sees: a beautiful large Nkishi Basongye; a Bakongo figure without hands; a Katanda statuette with raised arms used in Bwami rites; a very beautiful janiform Buyu Bembe head; an old Bakongo crucifix; a Songye pipe and a magnificently carved Bakongo; a Kela statue with incomparable aesthetics; a Lengola statue with a geometric body; a Nyanga mask, somewhat eerie; very beautiful Chokwe masks; a rare miniature Lega mask with two faces and other items yet to come.

In parallel, I also offer a set of high-quality Dan masks. You only need to dwell a moment on their shapes and the inner faces to appreciate the quality of the objects.

The packaging is meticulous, the shipping is handled by Bpost, which offers a service above average at a competitive price.
