Earth & Nature: African Masks & Sculptures

This mbulu ngulu ancestor effigy belongs to the classic style developed by the Kota Obamba on the left bank of the Ogooué: an oval, concave face, adorned with a central cruciform motif in relief, from which the intricate motifs of a decoration obtained by assembling fine lamellae are arranged.

Cette effigie d'ancêtre mbulu ngulu relève du style classique développé par les Kota Obamba sur la rive gauche de l'Ogooué : visage ovale, concave, orné d'un motif central cruciforme plaqué, à partir duquel s'agencent les motifs complexes d'un décor obtenu par l'assemblement de fines lamelles.
