Kasongo Statue (N° 31943) Deposit sale

The Hemba, Kusu and Kasongo have a fairly similar artistic tradition, and some of their kakudji sculptures were inspired by Songye fetishes. However, this would be a statue of an ancestor that the Kasongo, a Kusu subgroup, placed on altars. Distinguishing the Kasongo sculpture, the face extended by a long beard. Abrasions and desiccation cracks.
The Kusu established on the left bank of the Lualaba have borrowed the artistic traditions of the Luba and the Hemba and have a caste system similar to that of the Luba. The Kasongo form a Kusu subgroup, now dispersed among the Luba, Songye and Hemba.
