CONGO DRC
Anthropomorphic HEMBA Mask
Anthropomorphic Hemba masks are rare,
they give off an impression of majesty and serenity
The Hemba live in eastern Congo DRC, between the Lualaba river (Congo river), to the west, and Lake Tanganyka, to the east
Their territory is articulated around the Luika river which delimits the Hemba of the north and those of the south. They are therefore present in the south of the province of Maniema as well as in the north of the province of Tanganyka.
They are geographically and culturally close to the Luba
Masks of this type come from the south of their territory
