Kwele zoomorphic mask
Wood, kaolin
H.58 cm - L.16 cm
(Sold without base)
The subject of this mask, the duiker antelope, occupies an important place in the beete of the Kwele community. Léon Siroto notes that many young men go out for a week - sometimes even a whole month - to hunt antelope with nets in the forest, creating a sense of belonging to a group obliged to stick together.
