Kwele Zoomorphic Figure – Gabon
This zoomorphic Kwele masks represent the antelope whose flesh was eaten at the end of the ‘beete’ ritual. The beete ritual, which lasted for a week, would open with the departure of men into the forest to hunt antelope, whose flesh, seasoned with medicines, had to be eaten at a meal at the closing ceremony. Kwele faces are usually painted in white kaolin earth, a pigment associated by the Kwele with light and clarity, the two essential factors in the fight against evil. The Kwele masks originate from the rain forests of Gabon on the western coast of Africa and are hand carved by the Bwete association. Kwele masks many with heart-shaped face, are among the most beautiful forms of African art
Made of 100% wood, kaolin.
