"Statue Of Shaman Bamoun Cameroon "
Large statue of shaman Bamoun, richly and finely carved wood, with ocher polychromy and a black crusty patina in places. He holds a large pipe in his right hand and a bag probably containing psychotropic plants in the other hand, which gives him this totally hallucinated look, a state which allows them to communicate with the spirits in order to receive advice and predictions. Good condition, height 1m, 1st half of the last century, note wear on the right shoulder (see photo 3), former Belgian Serge Sheer collection.
