Descrizione : A fine Mangbetu terracotta clay pot, perhaps a water jug, from the DRC , CONGO, Central Africa. Showing some age and handling, appears to be overall intact and Measures approx 15 inches tall. The small display ring is not included. Mangbetu aristocrats surrounded themselves with a wide variety of finely crafted utilitarian objects--boxes, jars, stools, musical instruments, and weapons. A distinctive tradition of anthropomorphic sculpture associated with Mangbetu culture developed about 1900. Although such forms predate the colonial presence, European patrons greatly expanded the demand for them. These works show the elaborate reed-reinforced coiffures and elongated heads once common among the Mangbetu, who in the past shaped infants' skulls by gentle pressure.
