AI-gegenereerde samenvatting

Beschrijving van de verkoper

Old Finely crafted African Kumu mask, Congo.
Hand carved from a single piece of wood.
Heights: 30 cm.

This Kumu mask is dated in the mid of the 20th century and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The masks of the Kumu (Komo) have become known to collectors only in the last quarter century, mostly as a result of an influx of foreign aide workers into the region. The Kumu live on the western edges of the Ituri Rainforest, one of the few remaining virgin ecosystems left on earth. Ituri lies just to the west of the Great Lakes Region and the countries of Uganda and Tanzania. It is home to many rare animals and plants, as well as many human cultures which are ethnological mysteries. The rare okapi, the world's most endangered antelope, lives in Ituri, as well as some of the last surviving mountain and lowland gorillas. Artistically, the Ituri peoples are interrelated to such an extent that styles, shapes, and coloration tend to coalesce. Sadly, the civil unrest in the Congo will limit research and scientific inquiry for years to come. The unifying factor in Ituri art is a naive beauty and charm, both irresistible and heartbreaking.

A SUMMARY OF OUR AFRICA-GALLERY SELLING POLICIES. Our Africa-gallery specialized in Ethiopian tribal art, collected and sell tribal used art from all over Africa and special from Ethiopia. Our Gallery have a collection of authentic, original and traditional art from Africa. This collection including masks, statues, pottery, musical instruments, manuscripts, headrests and other antique, primitive art and various unusual items. I hardly ever buy direct from Africa. All my items that I sell are old and (tribal) used. My objects come from European and American private collections, auction houses, fellow dealers and other collectors from around the world. This site gives you an impression of our stock and activities. Authentic, museum quality African tribal art at wholesale prices We strive to provide deeper public appreciation for high quality African art and to make it accessible to all collectors. High quality masks, carvings, statues, fetishes, animal figures, ritual objects and bronzes displayed here will add beauty to any home and value to any collection.
