Hemba statue - DRC ex-Zaïre - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Hemba statue - DRC ex-Zaïre - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: DRC ex-Zaïre

Dimension: 7,87 Inch

Materials: wood

Weight: 0,66 Pounds

Item type: statue, fetish, figure

Description: The Hemba, established in the south-east of Zaire, on the right bank of the Lualaba, were for a long time subjected to the neighboring Luba empire, which had on their culture, their religion and their art a certain influence. Ancestor worship, whose effigies have long been attributed to the Luba, is central to Hemba society. Genealogy is indeed the guarantor of privileges and the distribution of land. All aspects of the community are imbued with the authority of the ancestors. Thus, these are considered to have an influence on justice, medicine, law and sacrifices. The singiti statues were kept by the fumu mwalo and honored during ceremonies during which sacrifices were offered to them.
