AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I propose an original set of ethnographic objects from the colonial era, brought back from Congo/Zaïre by a Belgian engineer who traversed the country in the course of his work.

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

This diverse ensemble illustrates the richness of artisanal know-how and material traditions of Central Africa at a pivotal period in its history.

Collected over time, this lot holds clear interest for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of antique objects and historical testimonies. The diversity of materials, forms and uses gives the set a beautiful coherence and a remarkable presence, quite characteristic of this era.

Shipping guaranteed within 24 hours, with careful packaging, insurance and tracking.
