BAKONGO, MASK 17, 10", $100, Congo
Along with their neighbors, the Yombe, the Bakongo people had white-faced
masks that were associated with the spirit world. They were less common
than their better known fetish or power figures, but some share the glass
eyes, magic cavities and inserted nails of those figures.
