neck rest - Kuba - DR Congo

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

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

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

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