Rare Osyeba statuette with its basket of relics.
Kotas or Bakotas lives in the east of Gabon, and are famous
for their reliquaries, which are intended to supervise the bones of the
ancestors.
Not very current thing among the reliquaries which one
can find on the market of art, the vertical part is planted here in the
basket
containing the relics of the ancestor.
