Ndop King AAA1167 sculpture
The Ndop sculpture represents a king from the Kuba Bushoong tribe of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Dating from the middle of the 20th century, this unique wooden work measures 33x26x85.5 cm. The royal figure is seated cross-legged, symbolizing a position of power and dignity. Her face expresses a majestic serenity with closed eyes and fine features. The head is surmounted by a complex headdress, a distinctive sign of its status. The prominent necklace and the crossed ornaments on the torso denote wealth and high status. The sculpture is placed on a square base that features geometric patterns typical of Kuba art, and it holds in one hand an object that can be a symbol of power or authority. The smooth patina and the richness of the details attest to the skill and sophisticated art of the sculptor.
