Description from the seller
Songo Lihamba Ancestor Figure。
アンゴラ。
Songo lihamba figures from Angola represent ancestral spirits, often depicted through sober, simplified forms that evoke the dignity and maturity of the human figure. The term "lihamba" refers to an ancestral spirit believed to influence the well-being of the living. When treated with respect and proper care, these figures are associated with health, protection and prosperity; if neglected, the spirits may become displeased and bring misfortune. Combining restrained sculptural elegance with profound spiritual significance, these figures reflect the important relationship between ancestral reverence and everyday life in Songo culture.
