This scholarly volume examines the sophisticated artistic traditions of the Kongo Kingdom, spanning from the late fifteenth century to the early twentieth century. Through a detailed analysis of power figures, reliquaries, and ceremonial regalia, Alisa LaGamma explores how these objects functioned as vital instruments of political authority, spiritual mediation, and social cohesion within Central African societies.
