EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Seated male figure (ntadi) from the late 19th or early 20th century. Crafted out of steatite, this Congolese sculpture stands at an impressive height of 43.2 centimeters and exudes a sense of power and presence. Belonging to the Kongo people, specifically the Mboma group, this intricately carved figure is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of West Africa. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the man's necklace and crown to his cross-legged pose. The sculpture's stone material adds an element of permanence and solidity, emphasizing its significance within Kongo culture. Its figurative form captures both human-like features and symbolic elements that speak to deeper spiritual meanings. Gifted by The Cecil and Ida Green Foundation, this piece now resides in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. It serves as a reminder of our shared global heritage and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship found within African art. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are invited into a world where tradition meets innovation - where ancient techniques blend with contemporary aesthetics. This Seated male figure (ntadi) continues to inspire awe and admiration for its cultural significance and artistic excellence.
