Anthropomorphic harp Tsogho or Lumbo people Gabon Early 20th century Soft wood, skin, basketry H. 59 cm Provenance : Pierre Amrouche Collection, Paris, 1976 Collection André Fourquet, Paris Félicia Dialossin, Paris Publication: Pierre Amrouche Regards de masques Road book in Gabon African Presence Éditions AES, Paris, 2015, Page 143 n°148 Very beautiful Punu or Tsogho harp surmounted by a bust representing a woman carrying a cup. It differs from the usual corpus by the representation of arms and legs. The hollowed cup could be the sign of a fetish or reliquary use. The sensual shape of the case is matched by the curves of the arms and the bow of the instrument, the whole forming a harmonious and poetic sculpture, in keeping with the function of the object. (Restoration of the left foot and reconstituted strings)
