Esta máscara solemne presenta el semblante grave de un curandero preocupado. Victor Yao Delanyo talla a mano esta pieza según las costumbres del pueblo Basonge del Congo. Llamado Fwebe (Jefe), generalmente lo usa un sacerdote durante los rituales para limpiar la aldea de la pestilencia. Delanyo utiliza herramientas manuales para tallar la máscara en madera de sesé; la cara tiene marcas tribales, que se acentúan con cera para madera.

Purchased the set of masks to give as a gift to add to collection of masks I started for family member during a trip to South Africa. Family member was quite happy. Will likely be used as Christmas ornaments.

The styles and sizes are perfect for my very cultural Christmas tree and decor. Arranged in a frame, they are excellent for year-round wall art display.
