GREAT! Phemba face mask, BACONGO, DR Congo, 1910-1920

Beautiful face mask made by a Bacongo sculptor. The mask was made for the first Belgians who came there. Therefore, a few details have been changed compared to the known Bacongo masks. Normally the color of the eyes is white or red and the ears have also changed slightly in shape. That actually makes it a mask with colon influence. The large holes are very fitting for Bacongo masks. The face is artistically of a very high level as always with the good Bacongo masks. Good condition too, see the photos! With provenance!
