The finest objects brought to you by {name}

Julien Gauthier

Les fetish Nkisi sont des objets de culte utilisés dans les traditions religieuses et spirituelles de plusieurs groupes ethniques en Afrique centrale, notamment chez les peuples Kongo et Yombe. Le terme "Nkisi" fait référence à l'esprit ou à la force divine qui habite l'objet, et le terme "fetish" fait référence à l'objet en lui-même.

Le fetish Nkisi est souvent un objet sculpté en bois ou en pierre, décoré avec des clous en métal, des perles, des tissus ou d'autres matériaux. Il est considéré comme un objet sacré qui peut être utilisé pour protéger une communauté ou un individu, guérir les maladies, aider dans les rituels de divination ou de justice, ou encore pour punir les criminels.
