A big Kongo nail fetish

From a private Belgian family who had a plantation in Congo, this impressive nail fetish has been brought back just after World War II and is to be dated from the 30's ... Price: 14,000 €uro. Height: 1m 13 cm.

I had an anthropologist this week in my gallery, who told me the sub-style of this Bakongo is Tchi Loango River and that it looks to be from the same style as the one in the Linden Museum
