Beschrijving van de verkoper
Such masks are among the most primitive in use in the world, and are made by carving wood.
The shaman plays an important social role as the channeler of spirits for healing, purification, and protection of those under his supervision. Masks help the shaman embody one of the spirits that surround the living world and use it to heal the sick, drive away evil influences, and guide villagers through changes in their lives (birth, adulthood, changes in social status, death) that might be affected by the spirit world. When hung in a house, the mask serves a protective function.
Provenance: former private collection from Germany
Please view the images to form a good impression. Will be carefully packed and sent with tracking number. The lot can be viewed and collected gallery in Vessem, the Netherlands.
