Taburete que representa a una mujer arrodillada con el vientre redondeado Madera, pátina marrón antigua, ligeros signos de desgaste en la superficie, grieta y falta de material. Pere, este de la República Democrática del Congo. 38 x 20 cm Los Pere, una pequeña población forestal del este del Congo, en los límites del Ituri, viven entre los Nande y los Bira, en la encrucijada de las tradiciones artísticas de los Lega y de los pueblos del noreste. Su escultura, poco común en las colecciones, ha sido poco estudiada; los asientos con cariátides son, al igual que entre sus vecinos, insignias de prestigio reservadas a quienes ostentan la autoridad. La mujer arrodillada que sostiene el asiento, con el vientre redondeado adornado con escarificaciones que se extienden hasta el torso, confiere a este taburete su fuerza y su belleza. Bibliografía general: Daniel P. Biebuyck, The Arts of Zaire, vol. II: Eastern Zaire. The Ritual and Artistic Context of Voluntary Associations, Berkeley y Los Ángeles, University of California Press, 1986.
