ointment pot - Bakongo - DR Congo (No reserve price)

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 work.

The collection consists of figurines carved in wood and stone, masks as well as various everyday objects and representations from local cultures.

This varied assortment illustrates the richness of artisanal know-how and material traditions of Central Africa at a significant period in its history.

Gathered over time, this lot holds definite interest for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of old objects and historical testimony. The diversity of materials, shapes and uses gives the whole a beautiful coherence and a remarkable presence that is very characteristic of that era.
