Fang Head 35.5 cm / Galerie Flak Price on request
This highly expressive carved head was originally affixed to the upper part of a ritual musical instrument, the arched harp known as ñgomi among the Fang people of Gabon.
Erich M. von Hornbostel notes in Fang (Musée Dapper, 1997) that music played a very important role in the life of the Fang. Musical instruments were played to provide the rhythm and underpin the melody of ritual or secular choral songs. Solo or choral songs were accompanied by the flute and the harp. This typology of harp descends from an instrument already known in the time of ancient Egypt.
According to Louis Perrois, all the significant activities of customary life among the Fang had to be conducted under the aegis of the ancestors. This explains why many carved objects were adorned with the face of an ancestor, which was the customary mark of lineage chiefs.
The head finial on a ñgomi harp was a reminder that the melody played on the instrument's strings was the « voice » facilitating contact with the world of the spirits and the deceased.

Kota Obamba Bombe forehead / Galerie Flak Price on request
Ancestor worship formed the core of the religious and social life of the Kota peoples of Gabon. As stated by Louis Perrois who studied this artwork in 2012, these majestic figures called mbulu-ngulu were attached to reliquary baskets containing magical « medicines » and relics of important ancestors. The applied décor made of copper sheets or strips was meant to add power and prestige to the reliquary figure. Metal was indeed associated with longevity and power.
According to Efraim Andersson’s Kota informers (Contribution à l'ethnographie des Kuta, 1953-1974), figures with concave-convex faces and domed foreheads, such as the present example, are male representations.
Of an impressive style and sculptural presence, this Kota Obamba figure is a masterpiece of classical African Art.

Fish reliquary

Solomon Islands

San Cristobal / Santa Anna, Solomon Archipelago

Carved wood, pigments and shell inlays, skull
Early 20th century
Length: 65 ¼ in. (166 cm)

Ex collection Sir Bruce Saunders, Brisbane
Ex collection Kevin Conru, Brussels

Sold
This is an extremely rare Solomon Islands bonito-shaped reliquary figure with a hollowed cavity at its center housing a human skull.

Such fish-shaped reliquaries were placed high up in the rafters of the boathouse where the large fishing and war canoes were kept, and where men gathered to discuss important community business.
As stated by the musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, young men were initiated into these houses built by the sea. The reliquaries housed the skulls of the chiefs. The mourning rituals aimed at transforming the deceased into guardian and protective powers.

Established in the region of the Upper Ogooué River in Western Gabon, the Kota attach fundamental importance to ancestor worship. The sculptures that they use for worship purposes – in particular the Mbulu-ngulu, the guardians of reliquaries – are imbued with force, mystery and sacredness.
These ritual guardian figures punctuate and animate Kota society. Aside from the role they have related to ancestor worship, they also appear during transmission and justice ceremonies, and for hunting and curing rituals. Originally installed atop circular baskets containing the bones and skulls of important ancestors, Mbulu-ngulu were kept away from the village, in an enclosure whose access was limited to those among the initiated specifically authorized to consult the ancestors.
These sculptures are constructed around a core of wood which is covered with a delicately crafted metal decoration. The power attributed to the sculpture originates in the metal strips or plates that cover it. Among its properties, copper was particularly known for longevity and power.
Effigies of this type, with their heavily abstract stylization, have been an object of admiration since the « discovery » of African art by Westerners at the beginning of the 20th century. Kota figures inspired numerous modern artists, from Pablo Picasso to Paul Klee.
Especially remarkable on this 19th century figure, characteristic of classic Kota art, are the perfect balance of forms and the refinement of the ornamentation. As noted by Louis Perrois, the back of the figure has a most unusual decoration of geometrical motifs, a very rare evocation of the braided i-benda hairdo worn by Kota notables.
Collected before 1929 by Mr. Lagarde, a French colonial administrator in Gabon, this figure in the Obamba style of Upper Ogooué notably belonged to the recently deceased art dealer, Jean-Pierre Jernander from Brussels.
