Description from the seller
This week, I am sharing with you a remarkable collection of objects collected in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 2000s by a well-informed traveler of traditional arts.
These are pieces that are being released for the first time, never exposed nor offered for sale before.
Among this collection, some essentials include: a beautiful large Nkishi Basongye; a Bakongo figure without hands; a Katanda statuette with raised arms used during Bwami rites; a very beautiful Buyu Bembe head, janiform; an old Bakongo crucifix; a Songye pipe and a beautifully carved Bakongo pipe; a Kela statue with an incomparable aesthetic; a Lengola statue with a geometric body; a Nyanga mask, somewhat unsettling; some very beautiful Chokwe masks; a rare miniature Lega mask with two faces, and other objects as well.
Furthermore, I am also offering a collection of high-quality Dan masks. It only takes a moment to examine their shapes and internal faces to appreciate the quality of the objects.
Want to showcase this mask beautifully in your interior? Choose a high-end base to enhance this mask: contact me after the sale to learn more. Exclusive bases 100% Made In Belgium.
The packaging is careful, and shipping is handled by Bpost, which offers a service above average at a competitive rate.
