Mask - Salampasu - DR Congo (No reserve price)

The Salampasu from the border region between the DRC and Angola are renowned for their powerful works associated with warrior and initiation societies. Their sculptures and masks, often marked by expressive forms and geometric scarifications, were used in rites of passage, protection ceremonies, and displays of power. Charged with a strong spiritual dimension, these objects served to impress, protect the community and strengthen the authority of the initiates as well as the connection with the ancestors.
