Masks & Symbols from Southern & Central Africa

The Zande people carved two types of sculpture. The first consists of objects between 30 and 50 cm, the Kudu representing the ancestors. The second consists of small statuettes of 10 and 20 cm, the Yanda, animal- or human-shaped figures with an apotropaic role and were used during the Yanda divination rites, and the word means strength and spirit and also designates these figurines. They are adorned with beads, rings, and anointing with all kinds of libations.
