Beschreibung : Central Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Salampasu people, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden face mask of an expressive style with openwork eye holes, a triangular nose with drilled nostrils, perky ears, and a mouth bearing two rows of sharpened teeth. The brown-painted mask also features a protruding forehead of the characteristic Salampasu style, a coiffure composed of 13 woven rattan balls, and a fibrous goatee suspended from a perforation in the chin. Masks like this example are marks of hierarchy that are accessible to men after they have passed through a circumcision ritual. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only.
