卖家的描述
Ancient male Kifwebe mask from Songye tribe, D. R. of Congo.
Dimensions: height: 50.5 cm; width: 25.5 cm; depth: 20 cm; with rafia: height: 90.5 cm; width: 65 cm; depth: 30 cm.
Provenance: collected on 1952 by comboni father Luigi De Giorgi in Kasongo, Belgian Congo, nowadays Maniema province, Democratic Republic of Congo. Purchased from Mbuya Comboni Missionaries, Kampala (Uganda), on 2009.
Type of wood: Ricinodendron Rautanenii.
Substances: the colours of the mask are a bit faded. The black dye has been identified as charcoal (“Lifito” in Basongye language). The white dye has been applied by the use of riverbed clay (known in Basongye language as “Ntoshi”), a type of clay similar to kaolin, mixed with yellow ochre (limonite dust). The red dye has been obtained from Bixa Orellana (annatto). The mask has been repainted several times, as usual for most of tribally used masks from Songye tribe. Looking carefully at the surface, it's possible to see four levels of colour, of which the last appears to be the white dye on the eyes.
Overall condition: the mask shows general wear and light grey patina. The wood is very fragile due to its old age. Considering its age, the mask is in great shape.
A professional invoice with a picture of the object, as well as the aforementioned description, will be delivered with the lot.
