Hemba Ancestor AAA831 sculpture

This ancestral female Hemba figure from the 20th century, originally from DR Congo, has a classical posture with her hands resting on her chest and her eyes ajar. Imbued with the nobility of the ancestors, it reinforces the family lineage, which is often exhibited during crucial ceremonies. As a spiritual container, it facilitates the connection between the world of the dead and the living. The beautiful scarifications on the abdomen add a significant aesthetic dimension to this unique piece made of natural wood, measuring 38x25.5x87.5 cm, embodying the artistic and spiritual heritage of the Hemba tribe. It is a unique piece.
