Maske
Songye, DR Kongo
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz, Raphia. H 31 cm (34 mit Raphia).

Provenienz:
- Hans Hess, Basel.
- Helmut und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Maske des bwadi ba kifwebe-Geheimbundes.

Solche Masken verkörperten ein mythologisches Geistwesen, wurden mit einem geflochtenen Kostüm und einem langen Bart aus Raphia ergänzt und tanzten an verschiedenen Zeremonien, um die gesellschaftliche Ordnung im Dorf zu sichern.

Der Begriff "kifwebe" wird heute mit „Maske“ gleichgesetzt, bedeutete aber früher „halte den Tod fern“. Die Masken schützten somit vor Krankheit und Unfällen.
