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 as part of his activities.

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

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

Assembled over time, this lot holds definite interest for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of old objects and historical testimonies.

The diversity of materials, shapes and uses gives the set a beautiful coherence and a remarkable presence that is very characteristic of that era.

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