A WOOD, BRASS AND COPPER RELIQUARY, MBULU NGULU
Gabon, Kota
53 cm high
Provenance: Italian private collection.
This kind of sculpture, with accentuated stylized anthropomorphic characters, was usually placed on the top of a container with a lid in which the bones of a high-ranking deceased were kept.
The name Kota identifies different ethnic groups located in Gabon, united by some artistic concepts, including those exemplified by this figure of a reliquary.
