Panel with fetish object and catalog. (No reserve price)

An interesting panel in bordered wood with bamboo fiber featuring an Nkisi Congo fetish.
According to Kongo culture fetishes play a fundamental role in the daily life of the community.
The anthropomorphic statue, covered with nails, bones, horns and fabric, is the doorway to the Nkisi world, the spirits that through the magic of their practitioners could actively operate in their earthly community.
This medium-sized fetish
has wide-open eyes protected by glass that represent the ability to see beyond the human eye, the colors of the face reinforce the magical theme and the representation of the sacred.
I include a useful 161-page catalog "From the Earth to Art" by Bartolomucci
