Description from the seller

I am offering 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 figurines carved in wood and stone, masks, as well as various everyday objects and representations from local cultures.

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

Assembled over time, this lot holds definite appeal for both collectors of African ethnography and enthusiasts of antique objects and historical testimony. The diversity of materials, shapes and uses lends the whole a beautiful coherence and a remarkable presence that is distinctly characteristic of that era.

Shipping guaranteed within 24 hours, with careful packaging, insurance and tracking.
