Description

wood, pigments, rattan belt, base

The Mabea live in the coastal region of southern Cameroon. Their sculptures are closely related to Fang art, but are distinguished by an individual formal language.
The figure was attached to a container holding the skulls and bones of revered ancestors, which was kept in the family home. It embodied the power of the ancestors and protected their relics from unauthorised viewing.
