EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Animal in the Form of a Pangolin" from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Created by an unknown artist during the 19th century, this African masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and tribal traditions of the region. The photograph provides a close-up view of this intricately carved bone sculpture, which depicts an anteater-like creature known as a pangolin. The vibrant yellow color adds to its visual appeal, highlighting every delicate detail and curve. This artwork represents not only artistic skill but also serves as a symbol of reverence for animals in Congolese tribal culture. Displayed within the prestigious Art Institute Chicago's gallery, this artifact offers viewers an opportunity to connect with Africa's diverse continent and explore its artistic legacy. It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and borders, allowing us to appreciate different cultures through their creative expressions. As we admire this extraordinary piece captured in print form, let us reflect on how it reflects our shared human history while celebrating Africa's unique contributions to global artistry.
