Luba Kifwebe mask - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Luba Kifwebe mask - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: DRC, Congo

Dimension: 14,96 Inch

Materials: Wood

Weight: 2,21 Pounds

Item type: Mask

Provenance: The mouth of this African mask formed of a rectangular block emerges in a quadrangular projection. The nose pierced with nostrils extends into a crest at the top. Similar in appearance to certain Songye masks, it did not, however, have the same function. These African masks called "bifwebe" appeared during funerals and investitures. The surface is streaked with lines coated with kaolin. They occurred during the ritual ceremonies of the Kazanzi society, responsible for combating witchcraft. "Bifwebe" (Sing.: kifwebe) would also mean, according to C. Faïk-Nzuji, "chasing away death". Worn with a voluminous raffia collar that concealed the dancer, this mask was generally danced in the company of a zoomorphic mask. Among the Luba, white is synonymous with a relationship with the spiritual world, through the evocation of the moon, which is evoked by the circular shape of the object.

Additional Information: Stand not included. A universal or custom base can be ordered separately.
