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 in the course of his work.

The collection consists of figurines carved in wood and stone, masks, as well as various everyday items and representations drawn from local cultures.

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

Assembled over time, this lot holds clear interest for both collectors of African ethnography and lovers of antique objects and historical testimonies. The diversity of materials, shapes, and uses gives the whole a coherent and striking presence that is characteristic of that era.

Shipping arranged within 24 hours, with careful packaging, insurance, and tracking.
Contact 7 days a week: we remain available for any questions or requests for further information.
