Description

NGBANDI, Democratic Republic of the Congo/Central Africa. Hardwood, dark reddish-brown patina. Protective statue with superb graphic carving from the limited corpus of ancient Zandé statuary from the Ubangi region. The female figure is depicted standing on short legs, her sex pronounced, her elongated, cylindrical trunk framed by two small arms. The powerful neck supports an abstract head with a concave face, the features barely outlined and the hairstyle represented by grooves. This remarkable statue belongs to the "Mani" magico-religious society, whose role was to preserve the well-being of the community. Height: 40 cm. Right foot incomplete, cracks and minor accidents.
