GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Sango live in the regions of northern Lastourville and Kulamoutou, along the course of the Sebe River in Gabon. The total population is estimated to number about fifty-four thousand people. Like the Kota, they make reliquary guardian figures that are decorated with brass. Sango figures are, however, carved with smaller, more ocular heads and lack the elaborate hairstyles of Kota figures.
