Songye Kifwebe mask
This African male Songye Kifwebe mask (kilume) is a remarkable object of form thanks to its three-dimensional structure, its beautiful naso-frontal crest developing in the plane of the extruded mouth as well as the play of contrast existing thanks to the application of kaolin, a white pigment used, among other things, on bifwebe masks.
For more information on Songye, Kalebwe and Luba primitive masks, consult the book KIFWEBE - a century of Songye and Luba masks, 5 Continents.
