Description
BEMBÉ, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
Small wooden fetish statuette with a beautiful old brown patina. It represents a standing hunter holding his rifle and wearing a conical cap. The eyes are ceramic. The right forearm, which was probably holding a knife, is missing, and the left side of the bust and leg has been badly eroded by time and rodents. The anal cavity has lost its magical charge. Late 19th century.
H. 20.5 cm
