EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mbulu Ngulu, a Kota Reliquary Figure crafted by an unknown African School in the 19th century. Standing at an impressive height of 51 cm, this relic is made from brass, copper, and iron, exuding a sense of ancient mystique. The figure's unique design features four quadrants with a triangular crescent eye and a concave oval face. Its stylized eyes draw you in, evoking curiosity about its purpose and significance within ritualistic practices. The central brass cross adds to its ceremonial allure. Originating from Gabon, Africa, the Mbulu Ngulu holds immense cultural value for the Kota tribe. It represents their beliefs and traditions passed down through generations. This relic was created to safeguard sacred relics or ancestral remains during important ceremonies. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is both intricate and naive in nature—a testament to the artistic skill of African artisans who poured their heart into creating such masterpieces.
