Description

CONGO DRC

Beautiful OFIKA Mbole - Bambole figure
The Ofika are representations of a hanged prisoner.
These statues served as a warning to anyone
who wanted to break the rules of the Lilwa,
power association.
Bambole are a people whose rites have remained rather mysterious to us.
The society of the Lilwa (which could be compared to the Bwami of the Lega) organized the social structure, ensured the stability of the community and punished those who transgressed (among other things the well-kept secrets)
Their art is best known for the famous "OFIKA", sculptures of hanged criminals, masks are more rare
They live in the "central basin", they are neighbors of the Kela, the Yela, the Jonga and the Lengola
Characteristics:
TYPE OF OBJECT: Statue.
Ofika is the term used in the local language.
ETHNICAL GROUP: Mbole (Bambole) or Yela.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Democratic Republic Congo
(ex Zaïre, ex Belgian Congo).
MATERIAL: Wood
DIMENSIONS: About 10 inches high with its base
CONDITION: Medium
Please have a look on pictures.
