MASQUE KUBA 


 RDC ZAIRE
Les Kuba sont le groupe le plus prolifique du Kasaï occidental.
L'art Kuba s'est principalement développé autour de la personne royale.

Cette culture prestigieuse, rendue célèbre par ses masques, ses statuettes royales et ses "velours du Kasaï" est aussi riche de magnifiques costumes de cérémonie.

La production de masques qui trouvent leur identité lors des rites de passage est un des éléments les plus remarquables de l'art Kuba.

Hélas, hormis les masques royaux un peu documentés, notamment dans l'excellent livre de Joseph Cornet "Art Royal Kuba", nous n'avons pas trouvé d'autres sources pour les masques secondaires.

Tout comme les gros masques royaux, ceux-ci sont très élaborés et servent d'objets de pouvoir, et de monnaie d'échange entre les groupes.
