Summary
[edit]DescriptionUntitled Image (King of Loango).tif |
English: This image depicts a king from the Loango coast region. According to Dapper, "the king hardly leaves his palace except for solemn holidays , or for some event of great importance, such as receiving ambassadors from foreign princes, to appease conflicts, to hunt a leopard which has ravaged Loango. . . He also appears on the first day that his own fields are cultivated, and when his vassals bring their tribute and come to pay him homage. They choose for this occasion a large place in the center of the city, where they raise his throne. It is a seat of black and white wickerwork, covered with mats that are embellished with rare objects" (p. 330). |
