Kete mask

A Kete mask with geometric forms

Dating from the 20th century, the Kete AAA718 mask comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is associated with the Kete subgroup of the Kuba people. This piece presented by Versmissen combines several specified materials: wood, fabric and feathers. Its dimensions are 22 x 33 x 37,5 cm, a format that showcases its construction and details.

The mask is characterised by abstract geometric patterns and conical eyes. Raffia caps and fastenings complete its composition. Associated with an initiation context, it reflects the artistic richness of Kuba-Kete culture. Classified as a wall decoration, it retains a strong visual identity based on contrasting volumes and the assembly of its elements.
