Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Fantastic fetish statue or power figure.
It features cubist geometric traits and a prominent curved extension over the head that evokes the ritual horn used to carry magical substances (bishimba).
Originating from the Songye people, of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), in Central Africa.
It is in very good structural condition, natural wear from its long age, and with a lovely patina.
Very imposing.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
