A WOOD, NAILS, METAL CHAIN, GLASS, ROBE AND TEXTILE MAGICAL FIGURE
Democratic Republic of thr Kongo, Kongo
62,5 cm high
Provenance: Vittorio Bellini (1936-2009) collection.
This variant of the 'nkisi n' kondi ', with the right arm raised originally to hold a spear, is known as' telama Iwimbanganga': it reproduces the gesture of the head of the community leader who thus put an end to the discussion, and for this these sculptures are also known by the term 'kakamambu' which means 'end of the dispute'.
