KING COAT

The jacket features a fur-soft tapestry rendering of Dom Garcia II, King of Kongo (17th century), adorned in regalia: leopard skin, layered coral bead strands, and royal emblems.
The warmth of the faux-fur texture gives the artwork a raised, velvety tactility, transforming the flat portrait into a textured relic.

Deep burgundy trim frames the jacket, evoking royal court drapery, ritual cloth, and classical portrait borders.

Albert Eckhout’s original 1640s portrait of Dom Garcia II is one of the rare European-era depictions of a Central African monarch rendered with a measure of dignity. Yet it remains embedded in colonial ethnographic framing.

DAP LUXE flips the gaze.
