Ex-Belgian collection of African art A stocky effigy of a royal ancestor, this African sculpture should have been arranged, alongside a female figure , sheltered in a small funeral hut. Brown patina, drying cracks and minor abrasions. According to stories, the Boyos are of Luba ancestry, through an ancestor who emigrated with her brothers. Migratory flows have mixed Bembe, Lega, Buyu (Buye) or Boyo, Binji and Bangubangu within the same territories. The Bembé and Boyo tribal traditions are relatively similar: they venerate the spirits of nature, water specifically among the Boyo, but also the heroic ancestors, whose will we seek to know by means of divinatory rites. Hunting is also an opportunity to perform sacrifices of gratitude towards the entities from whom favor and protection have been requested.
