AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am offering an original set of ethnographic objects from the colonial era, brought back from Congo/Zaïre by a Belgian engineer who traversed the country as part of his work.
The collection consists of figurines carved in wood and stone, masks, as well as various everyday objects and representations drawn from local cultures.
This varied ensemble illustrates the richness of artisanal know-how and the material traditions of Central Africa at a pivotal period in its history.
Gathered over time, this lot holds definite interest for both collectors of African ethnography and lovers of antique objects and historical testimonies. The diversity of materials, forms, and uses gives the whole a coherent elegance and a remarkable presence, quite characteristic of that era.
Shipped within 24 hours, with careful packaging, insurance and tracking.
Contact 7 days a week: we remain available for any questions or requests for further information.
