Reliquary figure of Fang style
Gabon
Wood
Height: 29 cm
This male reliquary figure can be linked to the Ntumu style among the different styles identified by Louis Perrois, based on certain characteristics. The elongated form of the torso is sculpted like a long cylinder, extended by a powerful neck that supports the head with its hollowed out cordiform face. The slender, supple limbs are nevertheless muscular and well-defined. The continuous line of arms meets above the protruding navel. The presence of the eyes, absent, is evoked by the imposing volume of the eyebrow arch; the wide prognathic mouth makes a pout.
