Description from the seller

Located in the border area between Cameroon and Gabon, the Bulu are part of the Fang group.

Like the Fang of southern Cameroon, famous for their large white masks, the Bulu also practiced the Ngil ritual to combat witchcraft and poisoning.

I am the gorilla, the formidable animal with which the postulant identifies after his acceptance into the secret society.

Their monkey statues are characterized by the invention of round and simple shapes, and by great accuracy in observing the animal's attitude.
A beautifully rounded statuette with a dark, shiny patina, lighter at the contact points. The animal holds its belly and a hidden object in its paw.
