Songye Janus Fetish Statue Drc Democratic Republic Of Congo

Beautiful Songye Janus statue, height 50 cm with its base. Very characteristic model of this ethnic group, with the famous Kifwebe mask, the horn stuck in the skull intended to receive magical substances depending on the purpose of the ritual (healing, birth rate, protection, etc.), the cubist appearance and carefully shaped shapes carved and polished. It has under the arms a load protected by a burlap, the bottom is decorated with snake skin, a beautiful patina of use ranging from warm brown to black, a bell on each side, probably from the middle of the last century..
