Mask of the Mukanda Ceremony of the Yaka, Democratic Republic of the Congo Weight: 260 g Height: 34 cm Length / depth:11 cm Width: 23 cm At every Mukanda ceremony (the initiation ritual for boys in the Yaka) masks were made. These were in on public display in the surrounding villages. When moving the initiated Boys who were considered full men after their circumcision, everyone had the opportunity to admire and compare the masks. The decisive factor for the reputation of a Yaka mask was its beauty and the ingenuity of the artist. This is why he was constantly looking for it new ways to surpass his fellow artists and around to surprise and charm your audience. Most of the masks incidentally, were destroyed after a mukanda. A stand can be purchased as an option. I offer different versions in my shop. We ship insured worldwide.
