Dimitri André

Height: 61 cm 
Provenance: a collector who wishes to remain anonymous. 

This Ndeemba initiation mask can appear by couple. 
Theoretically it is danced by a young person with a privileged status within the Yaka society.
The antennae that we can see on top of the head, as well as the central tip, symbolise genetic power.
This mask presents beautiful polychromy. 
The upper part of the mask requires an important mastery of the sculptor, to create this carpentered and covered structure. 

Cf. Yaka, C. Petridis / A. P. Bourgeois
