African sculpture depicting a woman sitting cross-legged. She embodies the ancestor associated with fertility cults. It forms the lid of a small box. A subgroup of the Kongo ethnic group, the Yombe, established on the west African coast, in the southwest of the Republic of Congo and in Angola, are characterized by a statuary in which various maternity figures abound. The Solongo cultures of Angola and Yombé were largely influenced by the Kongo kingdom from which they borrowed naturalistic statuary and religious rites by means of sculpted nkondo nkisi fetishes. Matte brown patina. Ref. : “Maternity in black African art” Massa; “Tribal Art of Black Africa” Bacquart.
