For the Kota people in Gabon, elaborate metal guardian figures called mbulu-ngulu served to identify and protect ancestral relics, which were placed with bundles or baskets of remains in communal spaces. This figure’s copper, brass, and iron metalwork required great skill, and both the time and materials needed to create this work signify great wealth. Learn more about this and other intriguing objects from around the world in Objects of Belief from the Vatican: Art of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, currently on view.

My very favourite photo that was entered in to the national geographic traveler photo competition. Fennic foxes are my favourite animal because of their massive ears and small faces, also because they are awesome and foxy. They live in the Sahara like many of my favourite animals, and they are nocturnal. This was taken in the Sahara, North Africa. It was captioned “the fox battles against the wind in Morocco”. The amazing photographer that took this is Francisco Mingorance.

Cast bronze throne, Tikar People, North Cameroon.

According to North-western Cameroon tradition, each Fon (King) needs a new throne. The Fon is the brother of brave and mighty animals and has the power to transform himself into a leopard. At night he hunts in the forest and the savanna. This bronze throne has a royal head motif but no leopard symbol, therefore, it has probably been owned by a queen mother or a court official.

Photographer: Carl Bento

This example of a brass casting of a Benin head may date to the mid-nineteenth century. The extreme degree of stylization, swollen cheeks and enlarged eyes, the size of the flange at the base, the weight of the casting, and the winglike projections attached to the crowns are characteristic of brass casting during this later period of Benin royal court.

In western Africa, pottery is mainly performed by women. The pots are formed manually and without the help of a potter's wheel. The work is done on mats made out of Baobab fibre, Doum palm fibre or even old fabric pieces. During the work process, the pattern of these bases is copied to the outer surface of the pottery.

Born in Africa to French wildlife photographer parents, Tippi Degré had a most unusual childhood. The young girl grew up in the African desert and developed an uncommon bond with many untamed animals including a 28-year old African elephant named Abu, a leopard nicknamed J&B, lion cubs, giraffes, an Ostrich, a mongoose, crocodiles, a baby zebra, a cheetah, giant bullfrogs, and even a snake.

Parents Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert documented Tippi’s life and relationships with the African wildlife.

A Portrait Mask from the Baule or Guro peoples of the Ivory Coast, 19th century.

Baule and Guro masks, depicting beautiful women, promote cultural concepts of ideal beauty and values. This mask does not show signs of wear or use, suggesting that its Ivoirian creator might have intended it specifically for trade with foreigners.
