Description from the seller

A remarkable statue "kudu" that was used in the Mani-Yanda culture of the Zande. During various rituals the statue is sprayed with magical liquids. This statue is characterized by a particularly visual effect that arises because a face is recognizable from all sides, both frontally and in profile. Extra power has been added through rings in the ear. In one of them a coin has been incorporated with the inscription "Congo Belge- Belgisch Congo" with the year 1922.
