Giwoyo, funerary mask of Katundu area / chieftaincy. Turn of the XIXth to the XXth century, pre-repression period. The authentic giwoyo masks of the pre-repression period, such as this splendid example, are considered the rarest of the Pende corpus. Ref: Olbrecht ''Kongo Kunst'' 1946, pg.34, see the Emil Torday, collection 1909 for similar pre-repression example. Price upon request. Visible by appointment. Coming back from Paris, come to see it, I'm on the road to Paris / Brussels. (45 km before Brussels.) PS: Thank you for not confusing me with ''galerie de la Louve" in La Louvière, which sells mainly objects of African style and which have an essentially decorative character. Thank you. #artpremier #artpremiers #congohistory #pende #bapende #katundu #kasaï #tribalartgallery #newyorkartgallery #tshikapa #kasaioccidental #tribalarts #tribalart #tribalartmagazine #tribalartlondon #brafa #bruneaf #tefaf #brusselsartfair #tribalartlondon #tribalmask #masterpieces #masterpiece #tribalarts #tribalartfair #bourgognetribalshow #africahistory #africantreasures #africanculture #laartgallery #dallasartgallery https://www.instagram.com/p/ButVU9rnKiI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2527fl7h6vw7
