Kongo Spoon (N° 24559)

Belgian African art collection.
Emblems of prestige, sculpted spoons are part of the regalia of African tribal art. This copy is distinguished by its anthropomorphic motif depicting a seated notable. This type of ritual object, an insignia of diginity, also evokes the power of the chief or the clan.

Height on base: 52 cm.
Glossy black-brown patina, desication cracks.
The Vili , the Lâri, the Sûndi, the Woyo, the Bembe, the Bwende, the Yombé and the Kôngo formed the Kôngo group, led by King ntotela . Their kingdom reached its peak in the 16th century with the trade in ivory, copper and the slave trade. With the same beliefs and traditions, they produced statuary endowed with codified gestures in keeping with their vision of the world.
