Mask - N`KUMU - DR Congo (No reserve price)

Powerful Kumu mask from the Ituri rainforest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Kumu masks are among the most important objects of their culture. They are used by the Nkunda Society of sorcerers who call upon the ancestors for social control. The consumption of hallucinogens was part of these ceremonies, and during the ensuing trance information was revealed. This served the Kumu as one of their most important methods of divination.
The mask radiates a distinctly powerful presence. Good condition with beautiful, age-related patina and signs of wear.
