Description from the seller

The Zandé carved two types of sculpture.
The first consists of objects between 30 and 50 cm, the Kudu representing the ancestors.
The second consists of small statuettes of 10 and 20 cm, the Yanda, animal- or human-shaped, having an apotropaic role and were displayed during the Yanda divination rites; the word signifies strength and spirit and also designates these figurines.
They are adorned with beads, rings, and coated with all kinds of libations.
Note: Our packages are shipped with guarantee, insurance and a receipt.
