Selected by Julien Gauthier

Statue reliquaire polychrome - Tsogho - Gabon Les Tsogho comptent sept sociétés d'initiation distinctes, les plus importantes étant le Bwiti, le Kono et le Ya mwei. Les statuettes restent peu nombreuses dans l'art Tsogho qui privilégie les masques. Il est probable que ce type de statuette se rattache au Bwiti. Lors des rituels de funérailles, ou de nouvelles récoltes, les statuettes étaient alignées à l'intérieur du temple
