EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite relic from the Kota Culture in Gabon. The artwork, titled "Mbulu" is a remarkable fusion of wood and brass, standing at a height of 53 cm. Housed in a private collection, this piece holds immense cultural significance. The photograph captures either the front or back of another artwork numbered 181660, adding to its enigmatic allure. The image was expertly captured by Heini Schneebeli and is copyrighted under his name. This relic figure serves as both a face and ancestor image within the tribal context of the Kota Culture. Its intricate metalwork highlights the mastery of craftsmanship possessed by Gabonese artisans.
