Les Bembe estiment que les petites figures anthropomorphes en bois sont une représentation d’elles-mêmes, à la fois en forme et en esprit. Quiconque ayant les moyens financiers, généralement des chefs et des chasseurs chevronnés, peut charger un artiste de graver un portrait représentant l’individu de la manière dont il souhaite se souvenir aujourd’hui et après sa mort.
