AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Statuette of the Teke or Ba-tekes in wood, Congo, D.R.C.
The Teke – or Tekes – constitute a Central African Bantu population spread across the western part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the southern part of the Republic of Congo, and, to a lesser extent, the southeastern Gabon. The term bateke designates “the people of the Teke,” with the prefix ba being the plural marker.
Followers of the Pygmies in the occupation of Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa, they were founders of the great Teke kingdom, rival of the Kongo kingdom. Their king, known in history by the name Makoko, signed on October 3, 1880 at Mbé, capital of his kingdom, an agreement with the French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza.
