Grand Hunter TEKÉ - TÉGÉ - Teké - DR Congo

Very large figure of a hunter ancestor

This statuette has been studied by Professor Jesús Arrimadas, also a prominent collector of Spanish African art.
We can call it Tégé, which is a non-consecrated statuette of the Teké ethnicity.
R.D.CONGO.
It bears the characteristic scarifications of this ethnicity, with vertical lines on the face, a large headdress, and weapons in each hand..

Nice patina from use.

It is a great piece, worthy of an ancestor with power, which is reflected in its face.
