Consulter la cote et le prix de Figure Of The Crucified Nkangi Kiditu



Description : brass, base As early as the end of the 15th century, some fractions of the Kongo Kingdom adopted Catholicism as their religion from the Portuguese. Catholicism even became the state religion in the 16th century. Many aspects of Catholicism were however unacceptable to Kongo society. The image of Christ was not very popular among the Bakongo who had difficulty associating a Supreme Being with a suffering crucified man. The crucifix was more often than not diverted from its original intent and became either an emblem of rank and title or a cult object related to war and hunting. AHDRC: 0021049 Continent: Africa
