African art , lineage charms Statue of African tribal art Yaka made according to the instructions of the Nganga ngoombu and the sponsor of the object. This tribal sculpture was then activated using rituals and incantatory formulas. Cracks and erosions. Hierarchical and authoritarian, composed of fearsome warriors, the Yaka society was governed by lineage chiefs with the right of life and death over their subjects. Hunting and the prestige that comes from it are an opportunity these days for the Yaka to invoke the ancestors and to resort to rituals using charms linked to the "khosi" institution. The initiation society for young people is the n-khanda, which is found among the eastern Kongo (Chokwe, Luba, etc.), and which uses various charms and masks in order to ensure a vigorous lineage.
