Cameroon - Lot 205
Cameroon Mambila "tadep" statue Wood, kaolin H.44 cm - L.10 cm (plinth) The Mambila believe that the well-being of the living depends essentially on the intercession of spirits and ancestors. This is why they must be appeased and their benevolence sought, so that they can ensure fertility, health and prosperity. These therapeutic statuettes are the tangible abodes of ancestral spirits; they are offered and treated with magical and medicinal substances.
