Stuka f Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 My parents are moving to a retirement condominium next month. So lots to move and to get rid of.Having our Africa past, my father ended up with a collection of different African artifacts.One is a Bantou circoncition mask, that I remember my father bringing back from one of his trips.I need to get the entyre resume of that mask, but I can already show a pic.
Mervyn Mitton Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Some of these initiation masks - particularly if old - can be worth a lot of money. Take good advice. Mervyn
Stuka f Posted March 22, 2021 Author Posted March 22, 2021 Still own this mask and recently found his twin brother on the net. Saddly the link died. Apparently sold in France in 2014... Never mind the "voor" and "na" text, that was ment for a practical joke...
azyeoman Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Wonderful masks. The Musical Instrument Museum just had a fantastic exhibit of masks and music of the Congo. They put out an excellent catalogue of the masks too, which you might enjoy. Best, JL 1
