Beschrijving van de verkoper
Powerful Metoko figure from DR Congo with lineair scarifications.
The 15,000 Metoko people live surrounded on three sides by the Lengola. They are also regulated by the Bukota society and are divided into six clans. Living in deep forests, hunting is their main source of food. The figures produced by Metoko are large, have either very angular or abstract features, and are often covered with painted or incised dots. They are used at the beginning of the circumcision ceremonies.
[Jean-Baptiste Bacquart, The Tribal arts of Africa - P.44}
Good condition with clear traces of wear and tear.
Provenance: former private German collection.
Shipping within 24 hours after the payment is received. Tracking number will be provided. Signature upon delivery. Fully insured.
