Ancient funerary post from Bongo tribe, South Sudan.

Dimensions: width: 18 cm. Height: 81 cm. Depth: 16 cm. Weight: 3.6 kilos.

Estimated age: 1920.

Provenance and history of the piece:

collected on 1958 in Wau, Sudan, Bahr El Ghazal province, nowadays South Sudan, Western Bahr El Ghazal province, by comboni father Elvio Gostoli. Acquired with a bunch of other funerary posts from South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo and a group of Bongo stones from father Elvio Gostoli on 2010.
