Description

wood, pigments, plant fibres,

The Zombo live on both sides of the Inkisi River in the border area between the D.R. Congo and Angola. Their neighbours to the north are the Nkanu, and to the east their homeland reaches the territory of the Yaka. Both groups have stylistically influenced the Zombo in their sculptural art.
