Description
Mangbetu hat, Mangbetu people, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 20th century Basketry and feathers. Dimensions: 28 x 12 cm. Traditional African headdress made of braided plant fibre and embellished with feathers, belonging to the material culture of the Mangbetu people. The piece exemplifies a type of personal adornment and ceremonial representation, where the elegance of the form, the lightness of the materials, and the symbolic value of the ornament combine in an object of remarkable ethnographic and decorative power. It stands out for the simplicity of its structure, the rich texture of the basketry, and the refined contrast provided by the feathers, within a tradition especially valued for the formal and aesthetic singularity of its creations. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
