Kota ancestor cult mask - SOLD OUT
Traditional masks are very rare in Gabon. We know them rather than their famous guardians of Ngulu's highly stylized reliquaries.
The logic is the same Nevertheless: a wooden structure is covered with a metal veneer. On the little little african woman's old masks in a brass-out-of-make-up-of-magic. Influence Mahongwe - Tsogho Vouvi perceptible. The inner side presents a beautiful work with the adze.
