Mask - Songola - DR Congo

- Private collection inherited from a Frenchman who traveled in Central Africa in the 1960s-70s.
Having participated in public health missions in remote villages, André was thus sensitized to the arts and crafts, their forms and uses.
As was often customary, the services rendered were thanked with gifts at departure, among which masks, statues and other objects charged with meaning.
The set of several dozen pieces was also completed by purchases made on site in Bujumbura in particular, as well as in France subsequently. -
