AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I propose an original set of ethnographic objects from the colonial era brought back from the Congo/Zaïre by a Belgian engineer who roamed the country in the course of his activities.
The collection consists of figurines carved in wood and stone, masks as well as various utilitarian and representational objects from local cultures.
This varied ensemble illustrates the wealth of artisanal know-how and material traditions of Central Africa at a pivotal period in its history.
Gathered over time, this lot holds clear interest for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of antique objects and historical testimony.
The diversity of materials, shapes and uses gives the whole a beautiful coherence and a remarkable presence, quite characteristic of that era.
Shipping arranged within 24 hours, with careful packaging, insurance and tracking.
Contact 7 days a week: we remain available for any questions or requests for additional information.
