The Kuyu are an ethnic group who live in northern Congo-Brazzaville, on the banks of the River Congo, in a part that has remained only marginally influenced by Muslim encroachment and Western colonialism. Although at first the predominant group in the area, they later became a minority within the broader Mbochi population. The objects making up their material culture have long remained unknown.

This book features a wide range of authentic objects belonging to a traditional Equatorial African culture, as well as a reconstruction of the migration routes that would explain such a seemingly motley collection of objects.
