Post - Yaka - DR Congo (No reserve price)

The Yaka of the DRC are renowned for their ritual sculptures linked to initiation societies and ancestor worship. The carved posts, often placed in huts or sanctuaries, served as symbolic supports connecting the world of the living to that of protective spirits. Anthropomorphic figures with stylized forms evoke fertility, authority, and spiritual protection. These works accompanied initiation rites, healing ceremonies, and divinatory practices within Yaka communities.

We regularly assist with liquidations, estates, and dispersals of collections, in collaboration with private individuals and families in Belgium and neighboring countries. Our approach is rigorous, transparent, and accessible, with many sales offered without a reserve price.

Some pieces that have passed through our hands have joined international private collections and, for some, museum institutions.
