AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

- 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 folk arts, their forms and their 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 whole set of several dozen pieces was also completed by purchases made on-site in Bujumbura in particular and later in France.
