Reliquaire Mbete 
Gabon - Congo Brazzaville 
Hauteur totale : 73 cm
Période : milieu XXéme siècle 
Provenance : collection privée Belge 

Le peuple Mbete se situe à la frontière entre le Gabon et le Moyen-Congo, à l'est des Obamba. 

Les statues Ambete présentent des canons artistiques distincts, notamment des jambes courtes, des bras collés au torse et une tête aux traits stylisés. Elles incarnaient généralement un ancêtre, un chef ou un dignitaire. 

La statue reliquaire Ambete du Gabon est une forme d'art tribal africain associée au culte des ancêtres chez l'ethnie Mbete, également connue sous le nom d'Ambete.
