Description
CHOKWE, Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola
Standing Figure
Wood
This lovely figure was almost certainly carved by the Chokwe of the Kasai in the Democratic Republic of Congo as evidenced by the tri-lobed coif and scarification typology. Figures such as these would have been utilized in initiatory contexts as well as occasionally appearing as cross-over charm figures, based on a diviner's advice. The raised scarification and simple yet well-done rendering of the body attest to the proficiency of the carver within his style-canon.
