EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Kota Bwete Figure, a remarkable artifact from the Obamba Culture in Gabon. Crafted with copper and wood, this anthropomorphic sculpture stands at an impressive height of 57 cm. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the polished material, which adds a gleaming touch to this reliquary object. The face of the figure exudes a sense of mystery and power, reflecting its significance within the ancestor cult of the Obamba people. As a protector and guardian spirit, it holds great importance in tribal rituals and ceremonies. Gabonese art often incorporates elements of spirituality and symbolism, as seen in this ritual object. It serves as a tangible connection between the living world and that of their ancestors. Displayed here in private collection, this photograph by Heini Schneebeli captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of reverence for this cultural treasure. Bridgeman Images has expertly documented this piece without commercial intent. The Kota Bwete Figure represents both artistic mastery and cultural heritage. Its presence evokes curiosity about ancient traditions while reminding us of our shared human history across different parts of West Africa.
