Songye, DR Congo, mid 20th century.
Beautiful anthropomorphic sanza with 7 iron tongues. The whole is monoxyle. The resonance box is extended by a finely sculpted figure that echoes the characteristics of Songye Kifwebe masks: half-closed eyelids, mouth in relief. The bottom of the resonance box is decorated with scarified geometric motifs.
Brown patina with highlights.
Wood, iron.
