This impressive wooden panel from the Mitsogho people of Gabon is a remarkable example of Central African ritual art. Measuring an exceptional 123 cm in height, the panel commands attention through its monumental presence and strong sculptural character.
The surface displays clear traces of ritual libations, evidence of its ceremonial use and spiritual significance within Mitsogho traditions. These remnants of offerings contribute to the object’s authenticity and provide a tangible connection to the rituals and ancestral practices for which such carvings were created.
The wood has developed a beautiful, deep patina over time, enriching the relief carving and highlighting the age and history of the piece. The combination of ritual wear, rich surface texture, and natural aging gives the panel exceptional visual depth and character.
Provenance: Franco Rimoldi, Darmstadt (Germany).
