Seller: zippie05 ✉️ (91) 100%, Location: Ridgely, Maryland, US, Ships to: US & many other countries, Item: 266530836317 Kota Reliquary. This is a beautiful Kota Reliquary. On his base, it has an information card that reads: "Kota Reliquary Bakota Tribe - Gabon. Wooden figures covered with brass or copper sheeting are placed by the BaKota people over a package containing sample bones of a deceased ancestor. These wooden figures are used to protect the deceased ancestors from evil spirits."  This reliquary statue was purchased by my grandparents more than twenty years ago on a trip to Gabon. They traveled a lot and acquired art and antiques wherever they went, including Central Africa. I don't know any more about it than what is pasted on the bottom. I'm including many pictures. Please let me know if there's anything else to describe or document; happy to try to answer any questions I can. He has a wooden base which is decorated with a metal that appears to be copper. He is around 19 inches tall, and at his widest seven or so inches wide.
