Stylish African Mask on Museum Stand Mount

Located in Wiscasset, ME

Hand carved Kifwebe mask from the Songye People, a Bantu ethnic group from the central Democratic Republic of Congo. Typical Kifwebe masks have a strong sculptural large headdress embellishment and a long protruding mouth. The picker that acquired this mask has many years in the field and only deals with tribes and families directly.
