Standing female power figure "nkisi"

Description

wood, greyish brown patina, the eyes inset with cowrie snails, reptile skin headband with inserted plant fibres, tubes of animal- and lizard skin around neck and belly, magical packages on top of the head and at the navel, sacking loincloth, slightly dam. (nose, mouth), missing parts through insect caused damage (back, head), cracks, paint rubbed off;
from the same village like the two previous „nkisi“. The modelling of face and body shows similar structures, only in a more crude and simple form and in shape of the female version.
