Gebiet Katarackten Congo" auf der Unterseite Die im Mündungsgebiet des Zaire lebende Volksgruppe der Vili war früher als Fürstentum Loango Teil des alten Kongo-Königreiches. Daher sind ihre Masken, Skulpturen und Objekte stilistisch mit denen ihrer Nachbarn, den Kakongo, Woyo und Yombe eng verwandt. Herausragendes Unterscheidungsmerkmal der Vili-Figuren sind eine große Präzision und ein starker Realismus in der Ausführung, was sich auch bei vorliegender Figur zeigt (Hände, Mund, Ohren).
