Statue fétiche Sundi à reliquaire abdominal, les yeux incrustés de verre, coquillage derrière, hauteur : 48 cm.
Collection belge d'art tribal africain.
Outre leurs armes, objets de prestige et sculptures funéraires, les Sundi recouraient, tant individuellement que collectivement, à des fétiches africains de conjuration ou de fécondité, souvent investis d'une charge magique. 
Cette figure d'art africain, sculptée selon une esthétique figurative, présente un abdomen proéminent renfermant un contenu rituel chargé de puissance symbolique. La patine sombre est soigneusement huilée, tandis que l’érosion du bois prédomine sous la base de la statue.
Les Vili, les Lâri, les Sûndi, les Woyo, les Bembé, les Bwende, les Yombé et les Kôngo formaient ensemble le grand groupe culturel Kôngo, placé sous l’autorité d’un roi, le ntotela. Leur royaume connut son apogée au XVIe siècle, période marquée par un commerce florissant de l’ivoire, du cuivre et la tragique traite des esclaves. Animés par des croyances et des traditions communes, ces peuples développèrent une statuaire remarquable, où chaque geste sculpté répondait à une codification précise, reflet de leur conception du monde.
Objet ancien. 
Envoi immédiat, emballage sur mesure, support 24/24 7/7.
