Bulu monkey, statuary Byeri Fang
The statue is standing upright, holding its belly with both hands, aged brown patina. Private collection of the EFTOSCAF association
This wooden BULU monkey statuary was made by hand in Cameroon at the beginning of the 20th century of cultural rites to treat it for sprains and fractures. Statuary is part of the category of
religious arts. You meet a lot of BULU monkeys, because every secret society is required to have at least one specimen of them, but it is rare to come across a pregnant BULU monkey statuary, even
in simple art galleries. Place of collection The statuary had been negotiated between the family holding the work and the EFTOSCAF association in MVILA in South Cameroon.
The work entered France in 1996 to serve as a support for cultural exhibitions that the EFTOSCAF association had started to organize at the Municipal Exhibition Center of BONDY in Lyon to support
the promotional campaign for African culture in France.
The work will be delivered with its expert report certificate and its certificate of authenticity.
