Available at art Gallery Decoster Belgium Tribe : Pende Country : DR Congo Age: late 19th / early 20th century Stylistically, the best known masks come from Katundu: the convex and triangular face is divided by a V-shaped eyebrow line integrated into a heart-shaped depression; the heavy eyelids are drooping; the nose is blunt and sometimes slightly turned up; finally, the mouth, whose corners pull downwards, has cut teeth. Traditionally, African Mbuya masks such as this one were danced during the mukanda, the initiation that leads young men from puberty to adulthood.
