Description

CONGO DRC

Large HEMBA Ancestor Figure
26.5 "- 67 cm

Beautiful classic ancestor statue
The Singiti, the Hemba ancestors figures are famous.

The Hemba live in eastern Congo DRC, between the Lualaba river (Congo river), to the west, and Lake Tanganyka, to the east
Their territory is articulated around the Luika river which delimits the Hemba of the north and those of the south. They are therefore present in the south of the province of Maniema as well as in the north of the province of Tanganyka.(formerly the northern part of Katanga Province)
They are geographically and culturally close to the Luba
