Kuyu Great Woodpecker, Showing Signs Of Abandonment Republic Of The Congo (kuyu River Region)
Large Kuyu marotte, a traditional dance prop; this one was collected in the woods—likely abandoned or lost—which explains its heavily weathered patina, though the beautiful face has been spared. It is made of hardwood, 46 cm tall, with traces of polychrome paint; note the small metal teeth; late 19th or early 20th century.
