Great ancestor figure from the Suku tribe of DR Congo. The majority of Suku figures were associated with Mbwoolo shrines. Suku figures are multi-functional and sometimes have contradictory roles, for example, they were used to heal and to cause illness. Good condition with traces of wear and tear. Provenance: Manfred Schäfer, former gallery owner from Ulm (Germany). Tracking number will be provided. May as well be viewed or picked up at our gallery in Vessem (NL).
