Kaka hunter's secret society coat, Cameroon - Lot 276

Kaka hunter's secret society coat, Cameroon Plant fibers and porcupine quills on both sides. H. 120 cm - L. 95 cm Provenance : - Tribal Gathering Gallery, Bryan Reeves, London - Former English collection (according to oral information) - Serge Le Guennan Collection A rare and beautiful example of a rectangular coat. The edges are richly decorated with brown vegetable fibers in ochre tones, depending on the light. The surface is animated by a series of six horizontal linear friezes in light hues, from which hog's teeth and spikes emerge in an orderly fashion. Each linked with wickerwork. A subtle contrast between the rich, untidy, overflowing periphery and the orderly rigor of the surface decoration. Expert : Aurore KRIER-MARIANI - +33 (0)6 17 18 11 36
