Star Lot: A large antique Tribal highly detailed Makonde mask. Before Mozambique won its independence from Portuguese colonialism in 1975, Makonde men and women significantly modified their bodies in the name of beauty, as shown on this mask. Men wore wooden masks like this one at public dance performances, accompanied by drummers and a chorus. There is a video of the lot on our social media pages on Facebook, Instagram and tic tok.
