Description from the seller

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

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

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

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

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