Fetish - Kongo - DR Congo

The nkisi (the spirit) is a very large family of diverse objects whose mandate is to execute a 'contract', most often for protection.

Each type of Nkisi bears a name that only an initiated Bakongo could pass on to us.

Here the contracts entered into between the petitioner and the nganga, the diviner-healer, are sealed by embedding the tips of the nails.

The power is transmitted to the statue via a substance injected into an abdominal cavity and sealed by a mirror.
