Congo conche shell ceremonial marriage shirt and skirt

Description

This ceremonial shirt and skirt were obtained from a mission worker temporarily assigned to my home in WV after the devastating floods of 2016. She previously did mission work in Africa where she collected several works of art! I hope the pictures can help you identify the age. The skirt measures 55x35. The shirt measures 47 inches arm span from one side to the other, side to side is 19 inches on the front and 19 inches on the back! The shirt is 26 inches in length. When looking at the top of the skirt you can see a little missing fabric but it is stiches around the missing piece which leads me to believe it has always been that way. There is also a little worn section in the middle of the skirt which can be seen in a couple photos! The shirt is real nice! Any questions let me know!  Price reduction on 1/25/19 of 50.00 dollars
