Description

wood, metal, plant fibre, animal fur and horn, breakage (right arm), base

Particularly remarkable about this figure are the magical paraphernalia, which are apparently still completely preserved.

They were once applied by the ritual specialist “nganga” with accompanying incantations in order to magically charge the figure and thus make it serviceable for the individual concerns of a single person.
