D. R. Kongo, Yombe Würdenträgerin Holz, Pigmente, Spiegelglas Sockel Eine Arbeit derselben Werkstatt / Künstlerhand siehe AHDRC 0205389. Die Figur stellt eine Frau von hohem Rang dar, was allein schon durch ihre mitraförmige Frisur belegt ist. Zudem ist sie reich geschmückt mit aufwändigen, noppenförmigen Skarifikationen und ihre Zähne wurden rituell geschliffen. Sie könnte wohl die Begründerin eines Clans, "Mutter der Lineage" - "ngudi" genannt, verkörpern und wurde dann in der Behausung eines Clanchefs aufbewahrt.
