AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am offering an original set of ethnographic objects from the colonial era, brought back from the Congo/Zaire by a Belgian engineer who traversed the country in the course of his work.
The collection consists of figurines carved in wood and stone, masks, as well as various utilitarian and representational objects from local cultures.
This varied set illustrates the richness of artisanal know-how and material traditions in Central Africa during a significant period in its history.
Gathered over time, this lot holds definite interest for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of antique objects and historical testimony.
The diversity of materials, shapes, and uses lends the whole a pleasing coherence and a remarkable presence that is utterly characteristic of that era.
Shipping assured within 24 hours, with careful packing, insurance, and tracking.
