  • Provenance: Established between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Gabon, the Téké were organized into chiefdoms whose leader was often chosen from among the blacksmiths. The head of the family, mfumu, had the right of life or death over his family, the importance of which determined his prestige. The chief of the clan, Ngantsié, kept the great protective fetish Tar Mantsié which supervised all the ceremonies. It is the powerful sorcerer, healer and soothsayer who "charged" the individual statuettes with magical elements, for a fee. It was also according to his directives that worship was given to the ancestors. Their secret society, kidumu, used flat circular masks decorated with polychrome geometric patterns.
