Description from the seller

Kongo mask, Kongo masks, worn during the initiation ceremonies and funerals of the most important personalities, were also invested with a judicial role.
They are of great realism, almost figurative, with notably their delicately sculpted ears and their pointed teeth.
They are above all highly expressive, almost alive, thanks in particular to their eyes.
NB: Our parcels are shipped with insurance, warranty and proof of receipt.
