Mask - Congo (No reserve price)

The Congolese are renowned for the finesse of their tribal art, especially their terracotta jars. These pottery pieces are distinguished by anthropomorphic shapes, often adorned with heads bearing elongated skulls, echoing the tradition of cranial deformation. Used both for storing water and foodstuffs as well as for symbolic rites, they illustrate the cultural richness of the Mangbetu people. Their artistic corpus extends to musical instruments and ancestral figures, bearing witness to a sophisticated aesthetic and exceptional craftsmanship.
