Masque Initiation Ngbaka AAA32

An initiation mask with distinctive sculpted features

The Ngbaka initiation mask AAA32 originates from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and dates from the mid-20th century. Offered by Versmissen, it is distinguished by a small wedge-shaped nose and a high forehead. The forehead is adorned with classic scarification that places the piece within the sculptural aesthetic associated with the Ngbaka.

Crafted from wood, this unique mask features a dark brown finish and measures 15 x 23,5 x 37 cm. It belongs to the wall decoration category. The face is composed of clearly defined volumes, particularly the contrast between the small shape of the nose and the height of the forehead. This piece reflects the Ngbaka cultural and artistic heritage of the mid-20th century.
