DRC Azande Yanda Carved Wood Figure for Healing

Item Details

Description

Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), Azande peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. This is an anthropomorphic, carved wood figure that appears to be made of a piece of driftwood or other kind of "found" piece of wood. The figure is known as a yanda: an abstract human figure reduced to its essentials; most are female, as this one appears to be, representing protective spirits. Yanda figures were carved and then hidden away, to assist members of a secret society when they needed spiritual help. This piece has pierced holes that may have once held rings or beads, which are common decorations for these objects. Size: 2.5" W x 9" H (6.4 cm x 22.9 cm)

Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL acquired prior to 1970
