Figura di Janus - Kabeja - Hemba - Repubblica Democratica del Congo
Hemba Kabeja Janus Figure.
DR Congo.
This kabeja makua figure beautifully illustrates the most rare and unique of the Hemba statuary. Although each clan was endowed with several ancestor effigies, the Janus figures, a personal possession of the chief, were unique to each lineage structure.
