Myyjän antama kuvaus
Wonderful rar Binji mask from Congo. Central Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Binji (also Bindji) peoples. A lovely hand-carved wooden helmet mask known as a “tshibangabanga” displayed a dark-brown mask with full raphia. The mask is defined by a slanted lower periphery, a pointed chin, a prominent nose with tufts of braided and loose fibers, rectangular eyes. The cheeks are incised with crosshatch panels indicative of ritual scarification, with linear and zigzag motifs adorning the sides and verso, and a perforated top knot above the bulbous coiffure. Tshibangabanga masks like this example are believed to contain the greatest amount of spiritual power of the Binji masks, and only the “master of the initiation camps” can wear them.
Provenance: former private collection from Germany.
Shipping within 24 hours after the payment is received. Tracking number will be provided. Signature upon delivery. Fully insured.
