Mask - Probably Pare - Tanzania

- Private collection inherited from a Frenchman who travelled in Central Africa in the 1960s-70s.
Having participated in public health missions in remote villages, André was thus sensitized to primitive art, to its forms and uses.
As was often customary, the services rendered were thanked with gifts at departure, among which masks, statues and other objects charged with meaning.
The collection of several dozen pieces was also completed by on-site purchases in Bujumbura in particular as well as in France afterwards. -
