Description

wood, pigments, missing part, base

The carvers offered their pieces to interested parties, who could take the object to a healer “nganga” to charge it for the accomplishment of a specific task.

After the magical charge was applied, the figures were called “buti”. If the figure was not loaded - as in present case - it was called “tege”.
