Statuette - Colonial fool - DR Congo (No reserve price)

I propose an original set of ethnographic objects from the colonial era, brought back from the Congo/Zaïre by a Belgian engineer who traveled across the country as part of his work.

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

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

Gathered over time, this lot holds definite interest for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of antique objects and historical testimonies.

The diversity of materials, forms and uses gives the whole a pleasing coherence and a remarkable presence, quite characteristic of that era.
