Bakota Reliquery Fetish Basket From Gabon:
The Kota have produced large quantity of statues of ancestors. These two-dimensional sculptures are in wood; symbolic metals were applied to the upper part in strips or sheets to add power. Copper in particular was identified with longevity and power. These statues stood guard in cylindrical bark boxes, on baskets or bundles called bwete that contained the skulls and bones of important ancestors. Bound into a packet and lashed to the base of a carved figure, the bones formed a stable base that allowed the image to stand more or less upright.

The Tibetan Chop or Signature Seal is used in order to withdraw money from a bank, pick-up mail from a post office, and legalize a contract or document the chop was required. The Chop secured your credit or your promise. After signing your name, your signature Chop was still required for a document to be legally binding. Name Chops are also the constant companions of Calligraphers and painters. Artists follow the custom of stamping their works with their name chops to “sign” them as proof of authenticity. This Chop is hand-etched amber with silver with an etched seal.

Usually they are carved out of single piece of wood in a double fish hook shape.
Each area and village has its typical style. Some are quite simple. Others are elaborately carved and brightly painted. They may be decorated with shells, feathers, anything that adds to the visual power of the piece. A figure often represents an ancestor from the early history of the group.
A hook that has been used for a very long time will develop a smooth patina along the top rims of the hooks where the storage bags hung. For a collector, a basket hook is a true ethnographic artifact, as well as a piece which is artistically interesting as well.
