Description
Miniature mask - Metoko - D. R. Congo Private collection, Belgium 13 cm (26 cm) This small mask has the typical features of Metoko sculpture: a circular face, protruding tubular eyes, a straight nose and a decoration of engraved striations covering the surface of the face. Metoko masks are associated with initiation societies and local ritual practices. Because of its small size, this piece stands out from the usual models and is an unusual example of this type of production.
