Summary[edit]

Description
English: "French Congo. Brazzaville. King Makoko sitting on a tiger skin and his court" (Your attention, please : a "makoko" is nearly the same as a king, it's NOT a name. So, prefer : "A Bateke Makoko and his Court". There is NO tiger in Africa, and it seams impossible that this skin could be tiger skin. Références Quai Branly [1], n° d'inventaire : PP0230699.
Français : "Congo Français. Brazzaville. Le roi Makoko, assis sur une peau de tigre et sa cour". Attention : Makoko est un titre de dignitaire batéké, si l'on veut, équivalent à "roi". Il n'y avait qu'un seul dignitaire portant ce titre à M'bé, devenu Brazzaville. Pour la description préférer : "Le Makoko de Brazzaville assis sur une peau de panthère, et ses proches", vers 1898. D'autre part aucun tigre n'a jamais vécu en Afrique. La peau visible semble bien être celle d'une panthère d'Afrique centrale. Référence : sur la question du titre : "Batéké : Peintres et sculpteurs d'Afrique centrale", Réunion de Musées Nationaux, 1998. Marie-Claude Dupré, commissaire, p. 31. Cette image provient d'un don important fait à la BNF et répertorié sur Gallica comme "Photographies de la Société de géographie". La datation se réfère à la notice correspondante au musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac : [2], n° d'inventaire : PP0230699.
