An amazing Kifwebe African wood mask displaying the bea
An amazing Kifwebe African wood mask displaying the beauty of Luba with the mesmeric power of Songye art. The combination of Luba and Songye styles is typical for the border region between both people and has historic roots. Masks in the Luba-Songye style are distinguished by the convex forehead over a concave facial plane, the almond shaped downcast eyes, the broad band bisecting the forehead and continuing down the nose terminating in a sagittal tip, and the lined surface design in relief. SIZE: see attached ruler photo. Photos are part of the description representing the condition report and can be used for authentication prior to the sale date.
