Yaka Headrest - DRC

The Yaka are one of the many ethnic groups that make up the vast Congo and belong to the Bantu peoples. Their artifacts are expressive and elegant, as shown by this anthropomorphic musaw headrest, adorned with a crouching female figure. It measures only 21 cm, but its small size in no way diminishes the power of its presence.

Appuies tête Yaka - RDC 

Les Yaka sont l’une des très nombreuses ethnies composant le vaste Congo et appartiennent au peuple bantou. Leurs artefacts sont expressifs et élégants, à l’image de cet appui-tête anthropomorphe musaw, orné d’un personnage féminin accroupi. Il ne mesure que 21 cm, mais sa petitesse ne nuit en rien à la force de sa présence..
