Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Head, representing an ancestor of the clan that is linked to the cult of ancestors. The sculpture is fine and very balanced. The fine face has half-closed eyes and the expression is peaceful. The mouth is slightly forward and a thin beard necklace adorns the lower part of the face. The traditional openwork headdress is very well worked and refers to the cross of Katanga.
Wood with dark crusty patina (some missing parts).
H: 25 cm
First part of the 20th century Hemba people, DRC
Provenance: Norbert Boutet collection
