Authentic african mask kifwebe luba of the democratic republic of congo. Dating: c. 1960. Dimensions: 37 X 35 cm. Materials: wood. Origin: ex private collection, belgium. Provided with a certificate of provenance from an independent expert. For the luba, songye and kalebwe, a mask is a kifwebe, a term that has been given to african masks representing spirits and characterized by streaks. The kifwebe masks embody supernatural forces. Bwadi bwa kifwebe used them to respond to disasters or other threats. The masks were complemented by a woven suit and a long raffia beard, dancing at various ceremonies. They are carried by men who act as police officers at the request of a leader or to intimidate the enemy.
