Congolese,
The Nsembu mask was used exclusively by members of the Nkunda Secret Society for the purposes of adult initiation and divination; the mask representing the diviners spirit.
Painted with natual coloured pigments, its design is reminiscent of certain scarification practices.
The Kusu people inhabit the Ituri rainforests, located in the northeastern part of the Congo.
