As early as the 1950s, Maessen had identified the highly original characteristics of the art of the Holo, whose history is linked to the migration of the people from Kwango, Kwilu, and Kasai. Bearing witness to the significance attributed to migratory birds among the Holo, this mask asserts itself through both its sculptural and pictorial power.

Dès les années 1950, Maessen avait identifié les caractéristiques hautement originales de l'art des Holo, dont l'histoire est liée à la migration des populations du Kwango, Kwilu et Kasai. Témoignant de l'importance attribuée aux oiseaux migrateurs chez les Holo, ce masque s'affirme à la fois par son pouvoir sculptural et pictural.
