Notes: Provenance: Collection of Engineer Elísio Romariz dos Santos Silva, item number 15, mentioned in the notebook of the collector «Angola - Arte Negra, Relação e descrição das peças», identified in it as «Máscara - Asalampasu»: "One of the characteristic features of these masks is the protruding forehead that overshadows the poorly differentiated features of the face. [...] Purchased in the Sandoa region (Katanga) by Luís de Carvalho, a merchant in Luau [former Teixeira de Sousa] and former employee of the C. F. B. railway and offered by him in 1966". Cf. Bibliography referred to by the collector: (possibly) FAGG, William Buller - "Sculptures africaines: les univers artistiques des tribus d'Afrique noire". Paris, Fernand Hazan, p. 65, tribe 100. Another «Salampassú» mask is represented in FELIX, Marc Leo. - "100 Peoples of Zaire and Their Sculpture: The Handbook”. Brussels: Zaire Basin Art History Research Foundation, 1987, p. 153, nº 15.
