Powerful ancestor figure from the Babembe people of DR Congo. The figure is playing an African drum. Good condition with beautiful shiny aged patina.
The function of Bembe art is said to be primarily concerned with contacting ancestors and seeking their assistance, which accords in general terms with other accounts testifying to use of figures to endow hunters and warriors with good fortune before combat or hunting expeditions.
Good condition with traces of wear and tear and a beautiful patina.
