Description
HEMBA, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hardwood, with a beautiful patina of age. Commemorative statue of a ‘Singiti’ chief; the figure is depicted standing on a circular base, with his hands resting on either side of his abdomen. The sculptor conveys the figure’s nobility through the quality of the head’s carving; the face, with half-closed eyes, features a beard, and the piece as a whole exudes a sense of power and inner strength. First half of the 20th century. H. 49.5 cm. (slight cracks).
