Luba Kifwebe Dance Mask.
DR Congo.
"Striated face masks known as kifwebe was historically created by sculptors in an area of the Zaire River Basin inhabited by both Songye and Luba communities. Significant departures in the role and formal interpretation of this sculptural genre subsequently developed in each culture. In both instances, Kifwebe masks participated in initiations and played a role in establishing order in society. Round striated Luba kifwebe function within benevolent practices that purify the community of the evil spirits of sorcerers. In performance, such masks were complemented by a costume ensemble comprising woven textiles, animal pelts, and plant fibers, which covered the dancer’s body."
