Yela mask Yela people, Eastern Zaire (Congo) 9.5 inches, painted wood The Yela are related
to the Mbole, Lengola, and Metoko, and are 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 and
painted several times. Due to the violence and resulting poverty in the
region, scarce items such as this have come onto the market in recent
years.
