KOTA OBAMBA RELIEF FIGURE, Okonja region, Haut Ogooué, Gabon - Lot 178
KOTA OBAMBA RELIEF FIGURE, Okonja region, Haut Ogooué, Gabon Wood, copper alloy. H. 50 cm PROVENANCE : - Collected in situ by Alexandre Dubroca (1899-1967), administrator in Gabon from 1930 to 1962. - Private collection, Paris, transmitted by family descent. Less baroque than the two other Kota reliquary figures presented here, this example also seems to be close to group 21 of the study conducted by Alain and Françoise Chaffin. The pointillist work stamped on the metal plating, the nose in a narrow band and in high relief, as well as the thin rhombus invite us to think so.
