    Le Kota, est compris de nombreux groupes ethniques plus petits. Les membres du groupe Kota pratiquent l'adoration d'ancêtres qui est la base de leur art. C'est le cas au Gabon oriental, où la plupart des formes d'art sont connectées d'une manière ou d'une autre à la vénération des ancêtres ou aux reliques héréditaires.

    Les œuvres du Kota sont uniques en leur genre se caractérisent surtout de figures de reliquaires avec des têtes stylisées couvertes de cuivre. Le corps est le plus souvent d'une forme triangulaire simple supportant la tête. Ces figures, d'habitude plutôt petites, étaient placées dans des boîtes de fibres ou des paniers, appelés "Bwete".
