Mask - Ndaaka - DR Congo

The Ndaaka peoples and pygmy groups of the Ituri region in northeastern Congo possess a spiritual tradition deeply linked to the forest, considered sacred and alive. Masks and ritual figures were involved in initiation ceremonies, hunting rites, fertility or community protection. Sculpted in simple, expressive forms, these objects were used to communicate with ancestral spirits and the invisible forces of nature.
