Tabwa statue - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Tabwa statue - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: DRC ex-Zaire

Dimension: 13,78 Inch

Materials: wood

Weight: 1,32 Pounds

Item type: Statue, fetish, figure

Description: The Tabwa ("scarify" and "write") constitute an ethnic group present in the South-East of the DRC, around Lake Tanganyika. The tribes of this region, such as the Tumbwe, worship the mipasi ancestors through sculptures held by chiefs or sorcerers. A magical charge (dawa) was frequently placed on top of the statues' heads. Soothsayers-healers used this type of object to reveal witchcraft and protect against malevolent spirits. .
Simple farmers without centralized power, the Tabwa federated around tribal chiefs after coming under the influence of the Luba. It was mainly during this period that their artistic current was expressed mainly through statues but also masks. The Tabwa practiced ancestor worship and dedicated some of their statues to it. Animists, their beliefs are anchored around the ngulu, spirits of nature present in plants and rocks.
