KOTA - GABON - Lot 52
KOTA - GABON Reliquary in embossed brass on wood core (wears, a restoration, an element stuck back) Height Height : 54 cm Note : Oval face, dominance of the transversal crescent headdress and truncated lateral headdresses with rectilinear base, vertical pendants. This is the "classical" style that is referred to as Kota and which seems to be attributable to the Franceville region. The use of copper-brass flakes, often imported from Europe, is the major characteristic of the reliquary figures from the north of the region, while the use of plates decorated with engraved motifs became widespread in the styles and variants of those from the upper valley of the Ogooué, much further south, as far as the west of the Republic of Congo.
