Songye Kifwebe Female Mask
Congo, likely 1970s, carved wood and pigment, striated predominately in white with features accented in black and red.

Striated masks are used by figures of authority to wield influence by the use of nefarious magic.
From the Estate of the late Joseph D. Rowand, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Joe Rowand was instrumental in developing a contemporary art scene in North Carolina. After studying in New York City at Parsons, he brought the big city art feel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina when he opened Somerhill Gallery in 1972.
