Sundi Fetish (N° 28372)

In addition to their weapons, prestige objects and funerary sculpture, the Sundi used, individually and collectively, conjuration fetishes often equipped with a magical charge. The latter forms an agglomerate of disparate materials on the subject's back, extended by a sausage of cloth around the kidneys. Smooth marbled patina, blackish residues. Desiccation cracks. The Vili, the Lâri, the Sûndi, the Woyo, the Bembé, the Bwende, the Yombé and the Kôngo formed the Kôngo group, led by King Ntotela. Their kingdom reached its peak in the 16th century with the trade in ivory, copper and the slave trade. With the same beliefs and traditions, they produced statuary with a codified gesture related to their vision of the world.
