Item Details

Description

Title: Wooden Polychromed face Mask, Woyo people, DR Congo

Maker: coll.Klaus Paysan

Origin: DR Congo

Dimension: 22.5 x 16 x 8

Material: Wood

Additional Informatioon: A wooden face mask coloured in white and dark brown tones made by the Woyo people. The object has aged well, with some lost paint around the cheeks and forehead due to use. Dated to the middle of the 20th century. Provenance: This item stems from the collection of Klaus Paysan (1930-2011), who was a German photographer and author. Paysan first visited the African continent in 1961. With a never ending interest and a deep passion he researched and collected tribal art on more than 100 trips. He always approached people with deep respect for the local customs and taboos. This respect and a great will to help were the basis for close friendships and several honorary titles in African families and secret societies. This closeness opened Klaus Paysan's door to an Africa that remains hidden to foreigners. All items are sold without display stands, except when the base is fixed to the object.
