NKISI, wooden fetish power figure, BAKONGO, Dem. Rep. Congo, Africa
The Nkisi carved of hard light-coloured wood, standing firmly on a rounded plinth, with the upper body slightly bent forward, around the neck many bundles of cloth and the head with the eyes inlaid with pieces of mirror. The whole body covered with sacrificial and magic objects and materials (called bilongo). Bilongo consisted of various ingredients of the natural environment including red clay , red wood powder tukula, white clay pembe, charcoal, mushrooms and sometimes also human nails, hair, teeth. On its back the Nkisi carries a woven bag of rattan strips, equally filled with magic material, on the belly also a bilongo container and strings of cloth in the mouth. Bilongo most likely will also be present in the bundles of cloth around the neck. Once the priest (called nganga) had charged up the power figure with such material, he made it effective by carrying out special rituals. Thenceforth, the nkisi would protect its owner and his family from illness, witchcraft, theft and all other misfortune. The Bakongo are a large ethnic group living mainly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When in the 16th-century for the first time Christian missionaries came to Central Africa, the local people appeared also to believe in a creator absolute god. The early missionaries did spread the idea that the local absolute God was the same as the Christian God and they did use local language words to integrate Christian ideas, such as using the words “nkisi” to mean “holy”, “nzo a nkisi” did mean “church” or “another shrine” and “mukanda nkisi” was “the Bible” or a “charm”. The size is 25 centimeters high and the weight is 497 gram. The condition is as pictured with especial on the surface a lot of age related damage and loss of sacrificial material. Items can be returned for any reason or no reason at all. Your satisfaction is my first priority. I do ship worldwide. The actual shipping fee will be charged, for Europe it will be no more than 21,00 USD and for the rest of the world it will be no more than 28,00 USD. I do combine shipping if possible.

OYO group, pair of male and female ERI IBEJI, Yoruba, Nigeria, Africa
Both OYO Ibejis standing upright with the hands on the hips, with bead necklaces and bracelets, also with a high hairdo with remaining indigo blue pigments and the bodies covered all over with now washed-out camwood powder, the faces with a nice touch patina. Yoruba peoples have one of the highest incidents of twin births in the world (0,05%). As a result, twins are regarded as extraordinary beings protected by Sango, the deity of thunder. They are believed to be capable of bestowing immense wealth upon their families or misfortune to those who do not honor them. Powerful spirits in life, twins are honored with carved memorial figures when they die. More than just memorials, these sculptures are regarded as containers for the soul of the deceased. These figures, known as ere ibeji (literally meaning ere: sacred image; ibi: born; eji: two), remain a point of access to the spirit of the departed individual. The mother provides ritual care to the wooden figures, bathing, dressing, adorning, and feeding them. Such daily handling is responsible for giving their surface its distinctive patina. Ere ibeji invariably represent their subjects with mature adult physiognomies, and are often crowned with elaborate hairdos. The size is 26 centimeters high and the weight is 353 gram for the male and 315 for the female. The condition is as pictured and as described. Items can be returned for any reason or no reason at all. Your satisfaction is my first priority. I do ship worldwide. The actual shipping fee will be charged, for Europe it will be no more than 21,00 USD and for the rest of the world it will be no more than 28,00 USD. I do combine shipping if possible.

Short Sword Mambeli Boa / Angba / Hanga, D.R. Congo
Short Sword Mambeli Boa / Angba / Hanga D.R. Congo Iron, wood, brass Early 20th century In addition to being a functional blade, the mambeli short sword served as a symbol of prestige and as currency. Most were carried under the belt without a sheath; examples with a sheath are rare. While their dimensions vary considerably—from 8 to 36 inches—the size of the handle is always relatively small. The mambeli short sword was produced in large quantities by the Boa (Ababua, Bobwa), Angba (including the Mongelima), and Hanga. They were also collected among numerous neighboring populations, including the Bandia, Zande, Mangbetu, Nzakara, Barambo, Mba, Ndaaka, Bati, Binja, and Bengé. Their popularity and widespread distribution resulted in innumerable local variants designed by neighboring peoples. The Boa migrated to their current homeland in northeastern D.R. Congo from the west, and arrived before the Bandia and Barambo migrated from the northwest, and the Mangbetu from the east. The Zande then arrived from the north and settled nearby. The Mangbetu, Zande, and Bandia exerted a preponderant influence on the Boa, particularly in their clothing, daggers, and shields. Despite this strong influence, the Boa remained independent (Elsen, De fer et de fierté, 2003). Mounted on a custom display stand. Free worldwide shipping. 19 in :: 48 cm

There is a very shiny plant fiber woven wrapping around his neck and his waist (you can see red fabric under the waist wrapping). He carries a mirrored compartment on his back.
