Mbole statue - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Mbole statue - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: DRC ex Zaire

Dimension: 14,96 Inch

Materials: wood

Weight: 1,54 Pounds

Item type: statue, fetish, figure

Description: The sculptor Mbole has endowed the figure with a resigned and suffering physiognomy thanks to half-closed eyelids and a narrow mouth in a pale face. The position is characteristic: legs bent, arms folded in an unnatural way, hands placed on the thighs. Black brown patina, white highlights. Misses and cracks from desiccation. The Lualaba province had several closely related ethnic groups with similar associations. The Mbole are known for their statues embodying, according to D. Biebuck ,of the hanged, named ofika . The lilwa , an association with dogmatic initiation rites, had a custom of judging and sentencing to hanging those guilty of infractions of the imposed rules. These offenses ranged from murder to adultery to breaking the secrecy encircling the lilwa . Dishonored, the bodies of condemned persons were not given any burial and were buried in the forest. It was during the ceremonies at the end of the initation, presided over by a notable isoya , that these statues were exhibited , presented lying on a litter.

Note: Good, see pictures.
