Large Statue Of A Bamoun Shaman From Cameroon
Large Bamoun shaman statue, made of richly and finely carved wood, with ochre polychrome painting and a crusty black patina in places.
He holds a large pipe in his right hand and a bag likely containing psychotropic plants in his other hand, giving him a completely tranced look—a state that allows them to communicate with spirits in order to receive advice and predictions.
Good condition, height 1 m; antique statue from the first half of the last century. Note some wear on the right shoulder (see photo 3); formerly part of the Belgian collection of Serge Sheer.
