テラコッタ製の彫刻 Mangbetu - DR Congo (No reserve price)
There is no damage.
This statuette superbly illustrates Mangbetu art, dedicated to the exaltation of beauty. A few artists—in the village of Niangara and at the court of King Okondo—initiated the tradition of anthropomorphic ceramics, which became one of the most sensitive expressions of Mangbetu art.
In Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda...and as in many other African countries, women are the potters. Men are responsible for extracting and transporting the clay. Everything else falls to the women.
