Kota Bakota Mahongwé Gabonese Ceremonial Bell
Beautiful Kota bell, featuring the famous figure found on reliquary guardians, with its original clapper.
Total height 52 cm, eyes made of bone or ivory, signs of wear, first half of the last century.
These bells were used by shamans during trance dances to communicate with the spirits.
I tested the sound—it’s quite interesting, varied, and harmonious (relatively speaking!).
