#1691 Huge African Songye Kifwebe Wooden Mask 27" H

This magnificent Songye Kifwebe Mask from DR Congo is a stunning example of the traditional Bwadi Bwa Kifwebe Secret Society mask. Known for its intricate linear incisions and striking netting costume, this mask is a masterful display of Songye craftsmanship. The square or round, protruding mouth and possible central crest add to the mask's gendered symbolism. Measuring 27" h by 12" w by 9" D, this mask is a must-have for any African art collector. If it has a central crest, it is masculine; if not, feminine
