Description

Father Fr. Joseph Cornet, General Delegate of the Zaire National Museums Institute in Kinshasa, was interested in about ten years the customs of Bakuba, especially that of the royal tribe, called the Bashibushoong. The big notable Kotmwaan a-Kweet is probably now the most appropriate representative of the tradition of the kingdom of Bakuba, one of the most famous in Central Africa. It has long shared the expense of the government with his father, King Kot Mabiintsh ma-Kyeen then he was appointed regent. Both agreed on the urgency to put in writing the artistic traditions some of which are endangered. This important book dedicated to the art of Central Africa in the tradition of the kingdom of Bakuba or art Bashibushoong the name of the ethnic group that belongs to the royal family, is the fruit of their collaboration, better, their friendship.
