Description
This imposing Warenga mask hails from the rich cultural tapestry of Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Crafted from wood and adorned with natural pigments, this mask features a striking patina that narrates its history and usage in tribal ceremonies. Its dimensions, 15 inches in height and 7.5 inches in width, along with a depth of 4.5 inches, reflect a robust design intended for ritualistic purposes. The mask's distinct style, characterized by its bold facial features and symmetrical design, highlights the artistry and spiritual significance attributed to such artifacts within Warenga culture.
