AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Zandé carved two kinds of sculpture.
The first set comprises objects between 30 and 50 cm, with the Kudu representing the ancestors.
The second set consists of small statuettes, 10 and 20 cm tall, the Yanda, in animal or human form, bearing an anthropomorphic role and were displayed during the Yanda divination rites. The word means strength and spirit, and also designates these figurines.
They are adorned with pearls, with rings, and coated with libations of all kinds.
