Masque - Bira - République démocratique du Congo
This unique wooden mask from the Ituri rainforest is believed to be crafted by the Bira people. It was designed to embody an ancestral spirit during initiation ceremonies.
The face features rounded eyes and a closed oval mouth. The nose is merely hinted at, with a round hole serving as a nostril, potentially for the wearer's breathing. Adorning its head is a headdress crafted from Guinea fowl feathers. Its robust patina indicates considerable age, likely originating from the early 20th century.
Total height with stand 36 cm.
