Kongo statue - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Kongo statue - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: DRC, Congo

Dimension: 17,72 Inch

Materials: Wood, pearls

Weight: 1,32 Pounds

Item type: Statue, figure

Description: In the 13th century, the Kongo people, led by their king Ne Kongo, settled in a region at the crossroads between the present-day DRC, Angola and Gabon. Two centuries later, the Portuguese came into contact with the Kongo and converted their king to Christianity. Although monarchical, the Kongo political system had a democratic aspect because the king was actually placed at the head of the kingdom following an election held by a council of tribal governors. This king, also called ntotela , controlled the appointment of court and provincial officials. The nganga, both healers, were in charge of religious activities and mediation toward the God called Nzambi through consecrated figures called nkisi . The glazed eyes with dark pupils are associated with mediumistic qualities.

Note: Good, see pictures.
