These two classic studies by Dr. J Maes and are among the most sought after publications on Congolese art. Dealing with grave images (paper 1) and carved, sculptural maternal figures (paper 2), the Dutch text examines the rituals connected with each of the groups of figures; the photographs, large and very good, are, for the most part, of seldom seen figures.
