Description

This Kifwebe mask from the Songye ethnic group (Democratic Republic of Congo) stands out for its spectacular geometry and three-dimensional volumes, characteristic of male masks recognizable by their imposing sagittal crest. Entirely criss-crossed by linear striations underlined by contrasting black, white and red polychromy, the physiognomy features half-closed globular eyes strongly projected forward and a prominent cubic mouth.
