AAA775 Hemba mask

The Hemba mask, which originated from the Hemba tribe in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has distinctive artistic characteristics. Her narrow eyes attract attention, while the mouth, contrary to the usual norm, is sculpted into a subtle slit rather than a big smile. Measuring 13x17.5x31.5 cm and entirely crafted from natural wood, this 20th-century mask offers a unique interpretation of the Hemba aesthetic, perhaps reflecting particular aspects of the tribe's culture
