Todas las subastas / Etnográfica / Nkisi Nkonde Fetish – Kongo Power Figure - DR Congo (No reserve price)
Impressive anthropomorphic figure inspired by the Kongo tradition, commonly called Nkisi Nkonde. Carved in wood, it is distinguished by its body covered with a multitude of nails, points, blades and metallic elements, which give it a particularly expressive presence. In the Kongo tradition, minkisi are figures of power associated with spiritual, protective, or judicial functions. The metallic elements could materialize oaths, agreements, or the sought-for intervention of the power attached to the figure. The face features large stylized traits, a prominent mouth and an imposing coiffure. On the abdomen appears a rectangular receptacle, a characteristic element of many figures of this type, traditionally intended to receive a ritual charge. The surface bears an ancient patina with earthy tones, signs of wear, oxidation and various irregularities that reinforce the raw and spectacular character of the sculpture. A decorative piece of strong presence, particularly suited to an African art collection or to a room that highlights ethnographic objects.
