Unicat! & rare. Head of the Pende, DR Congo, 1900-1920
Overview
An extremely rare, very old piece! and also a unicat, a unique piece, this head of the Pende. Stylistically beautiful object and lived through through use. A head like this stood near the chief's throne or near the ancestor's preserved possessions. See the last two photos of a Pende chief with a head next to him. Warm color and lots of soul...
A great opportunity for the collector of old, authentic and rare African ethnographic items!!
