AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
38 cm with the stand
This week I’m sharing with you a remarkable collection of objects gathered in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 2000s by a well-traveled connoisseur of traditional arts.
It consists of pieces being shown for the first time, never exhibited or offered for sale before.
Among this collection, the highlights: a beautiful large Nkishi Basongye; a Bakongo figure without hands; a Katanda statuette with raised arms used during Bwami rites; a very handsome janiform Buyu Bembe head; an ancient Bakongo crucifix; a Songye pipe and a Bakongo statue beautifully carved; a Kela statue with incomparable aesthetics; a Lengola statue with a geometric body; a Nyanga mask, somewhat unsettling; very beautiful Chokwe masks; a rare miniature Lega mask with two faces and other objects still.
In parallel, I also offer a set of high-quality Dan masks. If you spend a moment looking at their shapes and inner faces, you can appreciate the quality of the pieces.
The packaging is meticulous, and shipping is handled by Bpost, which offers a service above the average at a competitive price.
