Bulu Gorilla fetish sculpture

A Bulu ritual figure with a striking expression

This Bulu Gorilla fetish sculpture offered by Versmissen takes the form of a hybrid being with a human body and a gorilla head. Its large, prominent eyes and open mouth give the composition a particularly expressive presence. Made from wood and metal, it features a natural finish with beige tones. Its dimensions of 19 x 19 x 59 cm highlight its vertical silhouette.

Associated with the Fang people of Central Africa, this Ngil figure is described as a ritual object showcasing mid-20th-century Cameroonian craftsmanship. It evokes the power and protection of the gorilla spirit Ngi. Its anthropomorphic and animal representation makes it a decorative sculpture with a strong cultural and symbolic dimension.
