Description

CONGO DRC
CUTE LITTLE BALUBA KIFWEBE MASK
With their streaks that characterize them, the Kifwebe masks of the Luba and Songye have many similarities,
so it is quite difficult to differentiate them without a certain habit.
Kifwebe Luba masks have a protective role against diseases, while those of Songye used to impress and police
(for male masks) and celebrate power changes, burials or investitures (for female masks)
Kifwebe masks are real modern sculptures with very daring architecture, exuberant shapes and volumes.
They instantly remind us of Cubism.
