Nyindu mask Nyindu people, Eastern Congo 8 inches, wood and decorated sheet metal The Nyindu are another of the little-known tribes found in the Ituri rainforest. As with most art objects from this region, design and craftsmanship tend to be rough. This is an authentic piece that appears to have been used extensively. Due to the violence and resulting poverty in the region, scarce items such as this have come onto the market in recent years. Most of the face is covered with metal, except for the
nose, eyes and forehead. The wear and patina are truly impressive.
