Powerfull Yombe maternity figure from DR Congo. The 300,000 YOMBE people are artistically prolific. Their maternity figures have a high pointed or rounded coiffure incised with geometric motifs. This superb example of Kongo sculpture shows the emphasis given to the head and detailed body. This female figure embodied a gentler spiritual force then the threatening male figures and was used for fertility rituals. The figure is carrying a child oin her arms. Good condition. Provenance: Manfred Schäfer former gallery owner from Ulm, Germany. Tracking number will be provided.
