Description

Statue representing a kneeling female figure. The sculpture is dominated by an imposing prognathic head perched on a cylindrical neck. The shoulders are carved at right angles and the arms descend along the body to end with hands resting on a bountiful belly and framing a cavity encircled with brass. The sex and the delimitation of pubic hair are well represented.
Note also that another cavity supposed to receive a magical charge is located at the top of the head.
Hard wood, brown-black patina, shiny reflections; slight lacks in places
Tetela people, D.R.C.
Mid 20th century
