Amazing Kota Relic Box From Gabon

From Christie’s, withits unattainable auction results, to specialized galleries and online marketplaces, the web is a delight.It makes you wonder:what could have inspired the creator of this incredible face, nestled in the heart ofthe equatorial forest, to imagine such a protective being, a guardian of the forces of the afterlife…?
The wood, carved by the force of iron blows—still visibleon the back—was covered with its studded copper adornment.
This reliquary stood enthroned above the bones ofdignitaries, resting in a wicker basket under its protection for decades,toward the end of the 19th century.
This authentic effigy still has the power to ward offthe invisible forces of evil… Without a doubt.
It is remarkably exceptional from an aesthetic standpoint, complete and in perfect condition. It has been part of a fine private collection for half a century.
