Kongo mask - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Kongo mask - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: DRC ex Zaire

Dimension: 11,02 Inch

Materials: wood

Weight: 0,7 Pounds

Item type: Mask

Description: Attribute of the nganga, priest-seer, this African mask offers hollowed out pupils emphasizing the mediumistic capacities that the Kongo thought they favored by taking hallucinogenic substances. This type of mask was called ngobudi in reference to something dreadful, terrorizing. Abraded matte patina, indigo highlights, erosions.
These mediating masks, also present in initiation processes, were used by witch doctors during healing rituals. At the same time, they were also used to identify individuals who, through their actions, could disturb the harmony of the community. In the 13th century, the Kongo people, led by their king Ne Kongo, settled in a region at the crossroads of the borders between the current DRC, Angola and Gabon. The "ntotela" king controlled the appointment of court and provincial officials. Belonging to the Kongo group, the Yombe are established on the West African coast, in the south-west of the Republic of Congo and in Angola. Their statuary includes remarkable maternities.

Note: Good, see pictures.
