Vintage, Pacific Northwest “West Coast Portrait Mask” by Val Stickings-Duncan. The details, colors and addition of hair and palm are eerie and gorgeous. This was part of my uncle’s estate. Writing on back is translated from pencil to note paper. Has been in storage in a box for over a dozen years, since his passing. Once hung, the fibers should straighten out and hang down.

Bene Lulua Helmet Mask Congo. The masks of the Bene and Lulua people, particularly the Lulua, are renowned for intricate scarification patterns that serve both symbolic and aesthetic purposes. Despite a historical ban on scarification, it has reemerged, playing a crucial role in identifying the Lulua. Residing in the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Lulua’s artistic traditions are influenced by neighboring kingdoms like the Kuba and Luba. With a population of around 300,000, the Lulua have a hierarchical social structure and worship ancestors, housing their effigies in shrines. Lulua art, including statues and masks, is highly valued for its protective and spiritual powers, connecting the living with their ancestors. Hemp-smoking ceremonies are conducted as part of rituals, emphasizing the cultural significance and artistic mastery within Lulua society. Height (In) 14.0Width (In) 9.5Depth (In) 7.0 132181.
