Numerous smaller groups of farming peoples have often been identified collectively as the Gurunsi. Included within this larger collective are the Nuna, Nunuma and Lela among others sharing certain common elements of culture and language. They often share similarities with the masks found among the Bwa and Bobo, their better known neighbors. This is especially seen in their masks that are often difficult to tell apart as they are close in style and symbolism. Animal shaped masks have been identified as the primary sculpted art form of these people. This offered mask, for instance, represents a stylized bird mask. The style may appear to be an earlier example of this mask type. It shows signs of long use and good age.This mask is worn on the top of the head with the tail stretching upwards above the dancer's head. The holes in the cap portion would have woven bits of cord to provide a veil to hide the dancerâs face.

Damage/Repair, large crack in head around ears. Fairly repaired, chipped ears, scratches in places A dditional Information: A Tabwa helmet mask from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Tabwa masks are rare and little is known concerning their use and functions. The literature points out three types of masks among the Tabwa. The first category is represented by the anthropomorphic wooden helmet mask like this with headdress nicely decorated with diamond and other patterns. Scarification patterns around hairstyle line, in temples, and in cheeks. This category represents the female ancestor(Musangwe) symbolizing fertility. The name Musangwe is related to sexual promiscuity. Our mask falls into this category. During the masquerade, Musangwe is always accompanied by the male mask(Kiyunde) which constitutes the second category. This second type is a zoomorphic mask representing a buffalo. There is no precise information to confirm if these two masks perform the primordial or mythical couple. The third type of masks was discovered more recently. Masks of this category are made of glass beads stitched onto raffia cloth. The functions of these masks are not known for sure. But they all are related to either the Mbudye or the Butwa society. They are probably involved in ritual dances linked to fertility, the birth of twins and ancestor cult in the Butwa

Damage/Repair, cracks to back rim of mask. Chips on horn tips, scrapes, scratches, Additional Information: This wooden Mask in Form of Buffalo(Kiyunde) is from the Tabwa people of Southeast Democratic Republic of Congo and Northeast Zambia. This is a large and impressive mask carved from a single piece of wood. Numbering more than 200. 000 the Tabwa were noted as early as the 19th century and today live along Lake Tanganyika. This mask portrays a male wild buffalo called âkiyundeâ and appears wearing a costume composed of animal skins and grasses. It dances with a companion mask depicting a female. The Tabwa identify wild buffalo with their strength and behavior with chiefs and their culture heroes. The name buffalo is also given to the circumcised boys. Tacks worked onto the face of the mask in elaborate and attractive scarification patterns and designs represent the Tabwa concept of âkulembaâ that reflect aesthetics, social membership and the abstract idea of order upon the chaos of nature. This is a typical and well-carved example of Tabwa Buffalo mask that would stand well in a collection for what it represents. For similar example and further Information see Constantjin Petridis& Franck Herreman(eds. FACE OF THE SPIRITs. MASKS FROM THE ZAIRE BASIN. Fig. 81, p.168. See also Maurer E.M. A.F. Robert
