Songye Kifwebe Mask.
DR Congo.

With "kifwebe" simply meaning "mask", this specific type of tribal objects make out a notable portion of the Songye statuary. These were typically dancing masks used in a broad range of tribal ceremonies. The kifwebe needed to undergo several stages in the proces of obtaining its magical powers, with the latter only seen as absolute when human sacrifice was involved. This specific mask is a strong classical execution with the typically known cubistic features of mouth, eyes and nose. The black and white pallet, respectively mud and kaolin colouring has been preserved nicely.

Belgian private collection

Object type: mask
Tribe: Songye
Material: wood
