Figura relicario africana ”Fang”, Gabón, 20th century - Made from wood and modelled following Gabonese figures, the sculpture is notable for its metallic eyes and expressive face. At the bottom of the figure, there is a wooden pedestal that does not allow it to stand upright, so it has probably been separated from its original base. It shows imperfections due to its age and the characteristics of the material itself. Height: 60 cm
