拍品專文

Ce type d’oliphant de grande dimension constitue l'un des emblèmes principaux des chefs Mangbetu. N’étant utilisés que rarement en tant qu’instruments de musique, ils étaient considérés comme symbole de pouvoir.
Notons l’élégance de cet exemplaire et le raffinement de son décor gravé. Voir Schildkrout et Keim (E., C. A., African Reflections, Art from Northeastern Zaire, American Museum of Natural History, 1990, fig.9.18) pour un oliphant comparable.
