Fang sculpture taking up the characteristics of the Byeri reliquary statues. Shiny speckled patina.
The people known as Fang, or "Pahouins", described as conquering warriors, invaded in successive leaps, from village to village, the entire vast region between the Sanaga in Cameroon and the Ogooué in Gabon, between the 18th and the beginning of the 20th century. Deep in their huts, in a dark and often smoky corner, the lineage chiefs carefully stored their Byéri, the relic chests and tribal sculptures. The bones of the deceased were kept in boxes topped with a guardian sculpture supposed to watch over the relics.
