South-eastern region of the Congo marked by the courses masks of the rivers Lualaba masks and Lomami masks The spherical shape of this model belongs to one of the productions that the Luba people used for the Kifwebe masks. They are not too common, but are characterised by the circular shape of the face. In these models, the nose has an almost-realistic shape. Here, the arcs drawn by the eye sockets spread with parallel incisions across the whole surface of the mask, decorated with alternating colours of white, brown and black. This accentuates the expressive power of the mask, which, with its different types, was created by sculptors in shapes and models that were passed down from generation to generation with decisively abstract styles..
