Mask - Ngombe - DR Congo (No reserve price)

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