Catalogue Note
Destinée à recueillir le vin de palme, cette jarre anthropomorphe incarne, avec son crâne allongé, sa haute coiffure en éventail et son corps orné de tatouages, l'idéal de beauté Mangbetu. Transcendant la fonctionnalité de l'objet, le buste/réceptacle s'épanouit dans les rondeurs du ventre et l'élégance de la tête au visage superbement détaillé - yeux fuselés, bouche entrouverte sur les dents signifiées, larges oreilles chargées de bijoux.
