African Tribal Statue Osseyba or Reliquary Figure Kota Mohongwe Peoples Art

Located in Miami, FL

A fantastically hand-crafted piece by the Kota (or Bakota) tribe who are located in the northeastern region of Gabon. This figure, which is a Mahongwe reliquary figure as exhibited with its truncated almond-shaped face, is made of wound copper, hammered brass and wood. Reliquary figures were used as guardians to protect the revered bones of venerated family ancestors and leaders and ward off unwanted spirits. These figures are meant to embody intense powers and were also commonly used in communal rites and ritual performances. This particular piece came from an American collector who traveled the African continent and collected African artifacts for over 50 years. This piece has a beautiful, organically aged patina acquired naturally over time and use. It is mounted on a custom wooden display stand. We believe it dates back to the early to mid-1900s but could be older. We are listing as 20th century because we did not have it appraised. This African Tribal Statue Osseyba or Reliquary Figure Kota (Bakota) Mohongwe Peoples decorative art would clearly stand out as part of a collection or by itself in any setting. Truly unique, eye-catching and engaging. Dimensions on stand: 25 3/4" High, 7" Wide, 5 1/2" Deep Kota Reliquary...

Inca Woven Hat with Feather Plume, c. 1500

Located in Chicago, IL

A beautiful contrast of colors and textures, this fantastic feather headdress is a woven hat of the Inca period, (circa 1460-1532). The style of the fez-shaped hat originated in the Aymara culture of northern Chile and displays a stepped, geometric pattern created by coil-weaving with dyed alpaca yarn. The hat on its own would have been worn as an everyday garment, but the addition of a decorative plume of vibrant feathers suggests that this piece would have been the final adornment of an Inca mummy bundle. Simply displayed on a custom steel mount, the burst of feathers provides a sense of movement and turns the piece into a captivating sculptural object. Headdress comes with a custom acrylic case. Washing stone display stand...
