Punu / Lumbu wood mask - Gabon - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Punu / Lumbu wood mask - Gabon - African Art Tribal Art

Description: This African mask is one of the stylistic variants of Gabon's white masks, itengi , (pl. bitengi) with a subtle-shaped face. In early art, this tribal mask from Gabon was associated with the various secret societies of Gabon, including the Bwiti , Bwete , and the Mwiri ("le"), the latter spreading into several levels of initiation, to which belonged to all the Punu men, and whose emblem was the caiman. The punu did not involve any masks in the rituals of the Bwiti, unlike the Tsogo. These powerful secret societies, which also had a judicial function, included several dances, including the leopard dance, the Esomba, the Mukuyi, and the dance of the Okuyi, on stilts, remaining the most widespread. Within this group, the Lumbu, Loumbu, Balumbu, located on the coastal part of Gabon and in the Republic of Congo, are located in the Middle Ogooue.
This kaolin-bleached face mask, evoking a deceased woman, was displayed at the dance named Okuyi . Classically styled with shells on which the streaks represent the braids, the latter extended here with two horns evoking the antelope, this refined copy is devoid of the scarifications in checkerboards, mabinda, inscribed on the face and which are associated, according to some authors, with the nine clans that founded the Kongo kingdom or with the different migration routes. However, the artist chose to garnish the chin strap bordering the face with these same patterns. The kaolin forms here a thick white patina and velvety, locally abraded, contrasting with the brown pigments of the entire face.
