Mask - Probably Pare - Tanzania

- Private collection inherited from a Frenchman who traveled in Central Africa in the 1960s-70s. Having participated in public health missions in remote villages, André was thus made aware of primitive arts, their forms and uses. As was often the custom, the services rendered were repaid with gifts at departure, among which masks, statues and other objects charged with meaning. The set of several dozen pieces was also completed by purchases made on site, notably in Bujumbura, as well as in France thereafter. -
