Description
During the last days of the king's life, the memorial statue was placed at his bedside so that it would capture his life energy as the object would outlive him. According to Cornet (1982), these statues were intended for the widows of the ruler because after the funeral, the ndop was installed in the harem.
Once the successor to the throne was designated, he would isolate himself with the statue in order to draw on its accumulated energy and in turn benefit his subjects.
