| Kete style mask, Democratic Republic of the Congo 23" tall including raffia x 14" wide the stand in the photos is for display purposes only and is not included with the mask wood, pigment, cowry hells, raffia, beads This mask is being sold on consignment from a private collection. $200 The Kete people lived along the southern border of the Kuba kingdom. They carve figures and helmet masks similar to the Bwoom mask with large, conical eyes and sometimes horns. This mask shows no real signs of age or use and it is my opinion that it was produced specifically for the collecting market. It was most likely carved by a Kete carver in the late 20th century. |
