Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Mangbetu Male On Stand Dr Congo Africa 3 Feet, second half 20th Cen

Beschreibung : Additional Information: ,A large standing male figure with linear motifs across the body and a hairdo with incised lines typical of the Mangbetu people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. ,The Mangbetu sculptures symbolize the ideal of male or female beauty. This beauty is translated by the hairstyle and by the geometric patterns and the body painting that are observed on the real individual in their personal appearance. Most of them portrayed existing people.The figure is well carved and shows signs of use.The 40,000 Mangbetu moved north east of the , Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) several hundred years ago and live just south of the Zande and west of the Boa--two groups that also moved into the DRC from the same area. The Mangbetu are famous mostly for their clay mugs and musical instruments, with statues and other objects being rare. Most of their figural art is distinctive for the elongated heads--which is probably an influence from the ancient Egyptians that filtered south thousands of years ago. Mangbetu art is a royal art, so most objects that exist are elegant, refined, and of great beauty.For more information see Enid Schildkrout and Curtis A.
