wood, tin, black paint, base
The Kanyoka have their homeland in the central south of Congo, between the Lunda in the southwest and the Luba in the northeast.
As with other peoples in the neighbourhood, the artworks of the Kanyok have strongly been influenced by the Luba and - occasionally - also by the Songe.
