Description from the seller

I offer you a superb collection of objects mainly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but also of rarer origins such as Angola and Zambia, exclusively gathered in the bush by a collector who has traversed the country far and wide.

The selection I am presenting here already provides a substantial glimpse into the cultural richness of the largest country in Africa.

Every everyday object, mask, figure, medicinal item was and still is today an opportunity for sculptors to show us their millennial, unique know-how.

Each stylistic element responds with elegance to a ritual necessity.
Thus, nothing in African art is purely aesthetic.

Please check below whether the object can be combined with others. No post-sale recalculation of shipping costs.
The packaging is meticulous, and the transit is handled by Bpost, which offers a service above average at a competitive rate.
