Male power figure "nkisi / nkishi"

Description

wood, animal horn, glass beads, rest.

The rich patina of the figure testifies to a long use in the cult and is heavily marked by sacrificial traces, especially in the head area. It has an opening on the underside.

This figure is unusual, both because of the overlong neck and the posture with extremely expansive limbs. Both feet are worked on large-scale substructures to lend the figure stability.
