African art decoration.

In African art, any everyday object can be transformed into a masterpiece while preserving its usefulness.

The major role played by women in the kingdom's political life is illustrated by the recurrence of the female motif in Fang art.

The latter, which stood out for its prestige and quality, also influenced neighboring groups. An ancestral figure forms the handle of this comb.

The effigy is depicted seated, with a straight back, facing forward. Dark brown satin patina.
