RDC / DRC Heaume, Democratic Republic of the Congo Fabric, vegetable fibers, pigments Height: 45cm / 17 3/4" Helmet mask made of fabric stretched over vegetal hoops, a double finned cap at the top, the vision of the wearer allowed by two tiny holes. A rich decoration of a vivid polychromy delimits notably the description of a face. The construction with the help of branch frames, as well as the ornamental vocabulary, is reminiscent of certain Tshokwe and Yaka productions. A display base will be included with the lot.
