Catalog Notes: The Ishyeen imaalu mask is ranked within a hierarchy of masking, as are most Kuba masks, that perform during activities associated with the men’s initiation society called Babende. Ishyeen imaalu appears most often at funerals of members of the initiation society. The masquerade, together with other critical aspects of funerary rites, is considered to be a critical element of a properly conducted funeral. David Binkley This is a very fine Kuba mask that was seen by David Binkley, Deputy Director of the National Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C.. Dr. Binkley considered this object a very fine example and worthy of inclusion in the National Museum’s collection. This mask is far superior to the comparable cited in this major publication.
