Summary
[edit]Description1130 6102d Asymmetrical Byeri figure, Fang, Gabon (5611956719).jpg |
This figure is unusual as it apears to have some deformity in one leg. The other leg has been broken so it is not posible to compare how it would have been carved originally. I wonder if the carving depicts a polio victim. It is nicely carved with a beautiful form and nice patina. Measures : 66 x 15 x 10cm Fang reliquary figures were guardians of the enshrined relics of important ancestors. Sitting on top of cylindrical containers, they were also consulted for aid and protection. They are notable for their child-like proportions contrasted with a muscular, poised vigilance.
