After the clay mold is hardened, molten bronze is poured into it, replacing the wax and taking its shape. Once the bronze cools and solidifies, the clay mold is broken, revealing the finished comb. These combs often feature intricate and elaborate designs, showcasing the artistic skill and creativity of Bakota artisans. They are characterized by their unique shape, which typically consists of a handle or top part and a row of teeth or prongs. The handle is often adorned with decorative elements such as geometric patterns, animal motifs, human figures, or symbols with cultural or spiritual significance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003eAbout the Tribe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003eKota People also known as Bakota, Kuta and Akota can be found in Gabon and Republic of the Congo.
