Description
Magic items par excellence, the Bakongo statues have a profound attraction, both for their mystery and realism by their strength against cruelty and extreme refinement. We can say in general that the Kongo statues are first spiritual realities media: ancestors, geniuses, impersonal forces, who attribute the statue its primary meaning. The aesthetically reflects the extreme attention that the sculptor brings to the execution of the work and confirms his artistic prestige.
