Magical statuette - Bakongo - DR Congo

- Private collection inherited from a Frenchman who traveled in Central Africa in the 1960s-70s.
Having participated in public health missions in remote villages, André was thus sensitized to the arts of the peoples, their forms and their uses.
As was often customary, the services rendered were thanked with gifts at departure, among which masks, statues and other objects charged with meaning.
The collection of several tens of pieces was also completed by in-situ purchases in Bujumbura in particular, as well as in France afterwards. -
