Description
Ancestor with horseshoe-shaped forearms Wood, with an ancient patina of brown and glossy reddish tones Hemba, Democratic Republic of the Congo 26 x 5.5 cm Among the Hemba, these statuettes were associated with ancestor worship and the remembrance of lineages. They represented respected figures, guardians of spiritual balance and family continuity. The stable posture, the arms drawn back modestly towards the body and the serene facial expression lend this sculpture a calm and meditative presence, reinforced by the harmonious balance of its forms.
