Description
a Very Fine old and authentic Songye peoples magic fetish from the Congo, (DRC) Africa.
Carved wooden idol with classic kifwebe mask face and central horn finial , with a wonderful well handled patina and evidence of age and use. The fetish has a bundled bottom suggesting ritual material being bound to the idol, this is a genuine field used example of African Tribal art, made for Ritual, not for the art market.
measures 11 3/4 inches tall. See more of my ancient artifacts and Tribal arts at www.tribalgatherings.com

Well. these are some very impressive artifacts.
Just been looking on your website, thought I may as well let you know I came across a tiny typo on the 'Japanese Wood Boddhisattva of Mercy':
"what remians in a Museum grade example and certainly a centerpiece to any Buddhiat arts collection."
Hope you are well. Great collection. Perhaps you'll forgive my brazen curiosity, how did you come to acquire so many pieces?
