PUBLISHED LUVALE MASK ZAMBIA carved wood, coffee-bean eyes, slender nose and sensitively rendered lips, raised on a bespoke mount (12cm tall) Footnote: Provenance: Kevin Conru, Brussels Bernice and Terence Pethica Collection, United Kingdom Published: Klopper, Nettleton and Pethica, The Art of Southern Africa, The Terence Pethica Collection 2007, p. 82, n° 28 Note: "Luvale communities continue to use masks to this day. Associated with the initiation of boys into *****hood, these masks were and are still worn in combination with woven fibre costumes. Since all initiation masks were ascribed particular attributes, they played a number of different roles in the education of initiates during their seclusion in the bush."
