ZAMBIA - Kasama District (Eastern Province) CHEWA... - Lot 140 - Artenchères
ZAMBIA - Kasama District (Eastern Province) CHEWA dance mask with zoomorphic decoration of a hyena sticking its tongue out, complete with its headdress. Carved wood with polychromy, cotton fabric. 20th century H : 60 cm (approximately) with its headdress H : 26 without its headdress The figurative here gives way to a living interpretation of the mocking hyena. A beautiful interpretation of art brut in the contemporary way of the Chewas. The animal world is an integral part of the life of the CHEWAS and its representations through masks are classic alongside masks with human faces. Once again, colour is paramount in the execution.
