This male Byeri statue hails from the northern Fang who reside in Gabon, Equitorial Guinea, and Southern Cameroon. Metal eyes are inserted to demonstrate the ability of clairvoyance. The only other decoration is a waist band out of red glass beads. There is a hole on the side of the neck which was used to “feed” the statue with palm oil.
