AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unique and rare piece - DR Congo - Tshokwe ethnic group
Much more than a female representation, it embodies the bond with an ancestor and is part of the dynamic relationships between people and spirits, and in the broad sense, 'between the village community and the chief, the ancestors, and the guardian spirits.'
