Authentic African Kuba helmet mask. Excellent craftsmanship on this very old piece. Decorated with beads, cowrie shells, metal, fabric, and grass. Truly outstanding helmet. In the 16th century, the Kuba peoples migrated from the distant north to their current location along the Sankuru River. When they arrived, however, they found that the Twa already lived there. The Twa were eventually absorbed into the Kuba Kingdom but retained some independent cultural characteristics. The height of the Kingdom was during the mid-19th century. Europeans first reached the area in 1884, but the Kuba, being relatively isolated, were not as affected by the slave trade as many of the other peoples in the area. The Nsapo invaded during the late 19th century, and the Kingdom was broken up to a large extent. The mask is approximately 12 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches deep Condition: Used but in excellent condition, Tribe: Kuba
