Click Here for New Arrivals! The BaSongye of Southeast Zaire are very devoted to magical practice. The most widely used physical representation of such faith is the fetish, also known as an ‘Nkisi’. The statuette is created to protect the owners’ well-being with the supernatural powers that it has been endowed with. The owner in turn gives offerings to the figure in homage. The fetish was designed especially for individual or family use. The Nkisi hands on enlarged belly, splayed fingers, heavy eyelids and elongated head are classic BaSongye features. This figure is attractively worn from age and has obtained a natural patina. Please click photo for enlargement! See other photos below. Sold! Please scroll down to Order.
