Nice Pende hat with multicolor beading on a basketry base. Also included in this lot is this very unusual light-wooden axe covered with a knitted multicolor ... morenetting of multi-toned palm fibers. The wood of the axe shaft is broken in the center of the shaft, but that's unnoticeable as the netting is holding the object together firmly. The triangular portion of the axe is formed by wooden sticks on the angled sides to support the netting but the front edge of the triangular shape is just netting. I wish I could provide more information about this axe, but in all my years of collecting I've never seen another one. Hat is approximately 8" long by 6" wide. The axe is approximately 12" x 6" at widest point. Sorry, no international buyers, shipping to USA only.

Face and along the torso, crack in pubis, large chips in feet with missing toes, Additional Information: This interesting figure of a male standing with hands on waists is attributed to the Pende of the Kwango River region. The Pende are known for their numerous artistic forms ranging from house decorations. Figural sculptures, numerous carved ivory pendants, and a wide variety of masks. Figures among the Pende in the past were not noted as often as the masks and when identified are known as ancestor figures or maternity figures placed on the roofs of chief’s houses other female figures are placed near the doorway. This is further complicated by traditions of figural sculptural usage varies among the Pende divided into Eastern and Western groups. It seems like this standing figure is wearing a Mbuya mask. In this case it may represent the esprit of Mukanda, connected to the initiation of young boys and uses as a protective spirit. 78671* All content.

BACKGROUND ... moreThe Pende people settled in the region near the Loango and Kasai Rivers. They are governed by a central authority. But pay allegiance to family chiefs, known as Djigo. The tribe members are divided into numerous territorial groups, the two most important being in Kwilu and Kasai. The Pende political system is mainly controlled by lineage and marriage. There is no recognized central political power, and the chiefs that do exist do not exercise significant authority. The extended family seems to serve the needs of social control within individual communities. The Pende are a matrilineal people, and the eldest maternal uncle in a family is usually recognized as heading the lineage, a position that entails ensuring the well-being of the family and taking care of the ancestors. The ancestors(Mvumbi) are placated through various rituals and offerings. The family head is responsible for taking care of the shrines and appeasing the spirits. The Pende recognize that spirits may be either good or bad, depending on the manner in which they died. Also, when ancestors are neglected they will cause bad things to happen to the family. The result may be sickness or hardship, both of whi

Spectacular Eastern Pende Giphogo Bird Mask – Congo / DRC
This is a quite unusual Eastern Pende mask. The Pende is a large tribe spread over the Kasai region in Southern DRC– with a stunning variety of masks and sculptures. In particular among two subgroups(eastern and Western) that have developed significantly different styles. The piece here is from the Eastern(Kasai) group– and known as the Giphogo, of which local variations also exist. It is made of a hard wood, with a bell shaped face covered in red pigments with a tubular mouth, and a beard-like appendicle on the jaw. As in many Giphogos, the upper part of the mask is made of a sword-like projection, showing black and white triangles, a motive also typical of the Pende. What makes this mask really spectacular though is that the mask, once reversed shows a striking bird figure, so that this mask, as sometimes the case, was probably worn both ... moreways in different representations. The inside actually shows extensive sign of use. This is a large. Spectacular piece. Dimensions are 23x7.

Beautiful antique Central Pende Red Muyombo Mask
This is beautiful antique Muyombo mask from the Central Pende. The Pende is a large tribe spread over Southern DRC. Although typically classified into two main groups(Western and Easter) At least four subgroups are known, with great variations in styles: Western, Central, Kwilu and Eastern Pende. Each of them produced an extraordinary array of masks. Some of which were destined to initiation rites, while others were danced in villages upon a series of social events. As often in traditional tribal sculpture. Pende masks are highly symbolistic and can serve different purposes, depending on the occasion. The piece here is known as Muyombo. It shows a flat face with a large forehead, fixed eyes with large eyelids, a square nose and triangular mouth. The appendix below the chin. Sometimes referred to as a beard is said to rather be an illustration ... moreof the sheet covering the bodies of the deceased– which also explains the fixity of the face represented. Unlike the related Giwoyo. However, the Muyombo was danced in villages and is associated to the heat of life, as opposed to the coolness of death. The piece here is of beautiful quality. It is made of a medium wood and shows great details and very fine cut. Including the elongated face with protruding forehead and thin eyebrows, flat cheeks and tiny, triangular mouth. It is covered in red pigments. Also showing black and white triangular motives on the bottom of the mask. Dimensions are 15x6.

A Giwoyo Mask - Pende - D.R. Congo - GREAT PROVENANCE
A Giwoyo Mask. Pende, D.R. Congo- GREAT PROVENANCE Wood. Fine patina from age, fiber, raffia, remains of original pigment. Masks such as this were used in theatrical performance that accompanies Pende Mukanda initiation. This includes some sixty characters in a variety of masks and costumes. Some of which were believed to have magical and curative powers. This mask, called Giwoyo, distinguished by its elongated wooden beard. Emerges at dusk. Representing the ancestor, Giwoyo is a bridge between the visible and invisible. Sacred and profane, living and dead, traditional and new. According to the Pende oral tradition. Their original territory was near Luanda in Angola. Warfare, as well as pressures caused by slavery, impelled the Pende to begin their migration away from the coast by the early sixteenth century. By the early eighteenth century ... morethey had reached the areas in which they live today. Some scholars have suggested that the Giwoyo mask originated after the first encounters with bearded European missionaries before the beginning of the eighteen century in what is now Angola.

BEAUTIFUL PENDE PEOPLE PAINTED WOOD MASK OF A BEARDED MALE FIGURE FROM CONGO
You are bidding on a Beautiful PENDE PEOPLE Painted Carved wood mask of a bearded male figure. With amazing design details, from Congo. The Pende carve numerous types of masks. Most of which are associated with education and initiation rituals. In the northwest part of the territory wooden figures are sculpted. Carved stools, staffs, chairs, and swords are used by chiefs and other important people to signify their power. The Pende. Along with their neighbors the Yaka and Suku, can trace their origins to modern day Angola, between the Atlantic Coast and the Kwanza(Cuanza) River. They were forced north to their current region during the Lunda expansion in 1620, which also resulted in numerous cultural influences. They are divided into two major groups, a western group who live just to the east of the Yaka and an eastern group who live on the ... morewestern bank of the Kasai River. Although each group is culturally distinct they consider themselves as one people. The Chokwe expansion around 1885 engulfed most of the eastern Pende and some of the western group as well. Colonialism halted the expansion of the Chokwe and allowed the Pende to reclaim their independence. The ancestors(mvumbi) are placated through various rituals and offerings. The family head is responsible for taking care of the shrines and appeasing the spirits. The Pende recognize that spirits may be either good or bad. Depending on the manner in which they died. Also, when ancestors are neglected they will cause bad things to happen to the family. The result may be sickness or hardship, both of which require a visit to the local diviner to determine the best way to appease the spirits. Through the diviner, the spirit will sometimes demand that a wooden sculpture be commissioned so that offerings can be made to it.
