AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Yaka fetish reliquary from Congo used during the birth of princes in chieftainships to provide protection against
Bad spirit and blessing over this chieftaincy.
In this wonderful fetish piece, there are certain specific features that I will clarify for you. The artisan nails used for protection against evil spirits—such as those in a chiefdom like Yaka—are always associated with spiritual attacks. That is why, on these artisan nails, you will see purification symbols that grant power to this new prince, Mbembe.

His eyes are made of ivory to give him strength, even in the most extreme cases. We all know the power embodied by the elephant.
