Or the Kongo people(Kongo: hunters” also referred to as the Congolese, are a Bantu ethnic group who live along the Atlantic coast of Africa from Pointe-Noire(Republic of Congo) to Luanda, Angola. They are primarily defined by the speaking of Kikongo, a common language. They are the largest ethnic group in the Republic of Congo. In the late 20th century. They numbered about 10,220,000. It is most likely the Kongo people arrived in the region of the mouth of the Congo River before 500 BC. As part of the larger Bantu migration. They were already working iron in the region and practicing agriculture by that time. Social complexity had probably been achieved in some regions where Kikongo is spoken by second century AD. By the late fifteenth century when European voyagers described them, they were living in a number of kingdoms, including the kingdoms of Kongo, Ngoyo, Vungu, Kakongo, and others, stretching

Most of our pieces have spent decades on at least two continents. And have been treasured by several owners.  Small splits, scrapes and cracks are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use. We examine each piece carefully when we receive it and report any damage we find in our listings. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. Damage/Repair, Worn patina and general wear, Additional Information: The face was rubbed with white clay(pembe) and the remain of this pigment can still be seen. This example comes from the Kumu(Komo) people. Komo masks have become known to collectors only in the last quarter century. Mostly as a result of an influx of foreign aide workers into the region. Among the Kumu or Komo people such masks were performed during the ceremonies of initiation and circumcision of young boys(Nkumbi or Kumbi) They were also used as dancing masks at the funerals of important members of the community.They are said to represent the spirit of forest. Such a mask was used by the Kumu people who live north of the Lega in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is difficult to discuss this mask definitively as they are either incompletely discussed or are themselves so very rare. Sketchy reports indicate that they were used in many associations including in initiation ceremonies of the Ganza and Mbai association. By a diviner's society or Nkunda association. They were displayed in funerals for members of the Nkunda association. This white painted mask is simple but strongly carved and could be an important addition to a collection of the art of the Kumu peop
