Fetish - Wood - fetisch - Teke - DR Congo
These statues were often re-used, so that typical wear and tear occurs around the place of the charge. Like of most old Congolese sculptures the wood splits because the sculptors don't think in long term. With a bit of luck it splits at the side or at the back. Provenance: Jos Christiaens. Dimensions: 26 cm. In good, original condition, without restorations.
