This is a wonderful Songye Shield Mask from the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Songye shields are all carved from single pieces of wood. The heads on the shields relate to the masks of this once warlike people, whose art projects an aggressive strength unparalleled in African art. The face generally is covered with linear incisions which are sometimes pigmented, the mouth is most often square and protruding. These masks appeared at the installation and death of a chief, and at the initiation rites of young men. This Songye Shield Mask would be a wonderful addition to your home and collection
