Read the excerpt from A Short Walk Around the Pyramids and through the World of Art. This piece of sculpture is very different from ancient Greek carving, though it, too, is part of an old religious tradition. It is made of hard wood covered with small plates of brass and copper and comes from Gabon, a West African country that straddles the equator. It was made by the Kota, a group of tribes who worship in similar ways, and who have made figures such as this for a hundred years, and probably much longer.
