This is a fabulous Feathered Kuba Mask from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The initiation practiced in the central and northern Kuba region is called Babende. One of the three masquerade characters associated with Babende is a mask with protruding chameleon-like eyes that relate to an ability to perceive the invisible. The Babende mask triad appears at various stages during the initiation process and especially at the concluding ceremony, during which the initiates are reintroduced to the society. A one of a kind mask that would compliment your collection or home.
