Bembe statue (N° 28555)

Statue embodying an ancestor in the "funda nkata" posture, which dignitaries adopted during receptions, such as the Kuba kings. ("Le Geste Kongo" ed. Musée Dapper.)
Desiccation cracks. Red-brown patina.
Established on the plateaus of the People's Republic of Congo, formerly Brazzaville, and not to be confused with the Bembé group from the north of Lake Tanganyika, the small Babembé group, Béembé, was influenced by the Téké rites and culture, but especially by that of the Kongo. Settled in the current Republic of Congo, the Béembé originally formed the kingdom of Kongo, with the Vili, Yombé, Bwendé and Woyo.
