Mask - Ngombe - DR Congo (No reserve price)

The Ngombe of the Democratic Republic of the Congo developed a powerful art tied to initiation societies and communal rites. Their masks were used during ceremonies of justice, spiritual protection, and ritual dances intended to communicate with the ancestors. Carved with expressive and symbolic forms, these masks embodied protective spirits or figures of authority, playing an essential role in the social and spiritual balance of the village.
