The pfemba or phemba maternity figures, symbols of the mythical ancestor, are probably associated with fertility cults. The child would embody the matrilineal transmission of power. The subject's pupils are associated with clairvoyance. The Yombe decorated their textiles, mats and loincloths, with motifs related to proverbs glorifying work and social unity. Glossy black patina. 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. The Yombe are established on the west African coast, in the southwest of the Republic of Congo and in Angola. Their statuary includes remarkable maternity wards whose use remains little known.
