African Mask from the Tintin's Imaginary Museum

African mask from the Imaginary Museum: the ritual object in resin

The African mask is treated by Tintinimaginatio as a piece of tribal art, with the attention to ornaments, colors and proportions that the hand-painted resin allows. The pigments placed in flat areas on the reliefs of the face, the sculpted details around the eyes and the mouth, the simulated color of the wood: the painting work is the central element of this piece.

This type of object works in a window without needing to be identified as a reference to a specific album: it fits into a set of curiosities as much as into a Tintin collection.

The African period of the series as a collector's item

The African Tintin albums belong to a specific era of the series, and their objects carry this temporality. The African mask in a Tintinimaginatio collection is a marker of this period.
