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 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Some of these initiation masks - particularly if old - can be worth a lot of money. Take good advice. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuka f Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azyeoman Posted January 2, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
