Royal comb - Asante - Ghana

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