What presence for this ancient object from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is a "ball of justice". It is composed of a round structure made of plant fiber filled with magical elements. In its center there is a skull. It seems to watch us, it scrutinizes us and judges us. Its gaze is timeless, beyond bodies and matter. It is a troubled work filled with a mysterious force. The composition is successful and adds a dramatic strength to the whole. Beautiful ancient patina. Cracks and blemishes, see photos. Sold as is. The photos are part of the description. A beautiful piece of historic and authentic collection. Circa 1950.

Provenance :
- P. Robin, Paris.
