The Yaka live in southwestern Congo.
Their power figures, serve as protective amulets against misfortune, witchcraft, illness and death. The Yaka figure presented here wears a two small packets.
In such packets, the ‘ritual specialist’ of the community (priest, magician, healer etc.) packs his ‘magic material’ out of plants, earth and small objects, through which the ‘power’ of the figure first becomes effective.
