| Yaka hand masks, Democratic Republic of the Congo aprox. 18" tall including raffia wood, pigment, cloth, raffia Being sold on consignment from a private collection, MA. $350 for the pair Most Yaka masks are associated with initiation ceremonies and are generally only used once. I haven't come across hand masks like this before. These objects were acquired by their owner, who was a US diplomat, during his time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the early 70's. These objects shows no real signs of age or use; it is my opinion that it was made specifically for the collecting market. |
