Metoko figure - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Metoko figure - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art

Item Category: Figure, statue

Alleged Seniority: Second half 20th century

Origin: DRC, Congo

Materials: Wood

Dimensions: 11,81 Inch

Weight: 0,66 Pounds

Note: Good, see pictures.

Additional Information: This figure Metoko represented on a base is close to lengola productions. A geometric head surmounting a straight bust with wide limbs forms a highly stylized figure.
This cult male effigy, which may have been associated with funeral rites and then placed on the tombs, comes from the Metoko and Lengola, located in the center of the Congolese basin between the Lomami and Lualaba rivers, peoples of the primary forest dedicated to the worship of a unique God, a monotheism rare in Africa. Their company, Bukota, welcoming both men and women, is the equivalent of the association Bwami Lega. Their sculptures, influenced by the neighbouring Mbole, Lega and Binja, played a role in initiation, funeral or circumcision ceremonies, and were then placed on the tomb of high-ranking initiates. Each of these figures had an educational name and meaning, just like the Lega traditions.
