Sculpture of the Songye whose face takes on the shape of the Kifwebe mask. Satin patina, erosions of the base. Desication cracks. In the 16th century, theSongyes migrated from the Shaba region to settle on the left bank of the Lualaba. Their society is organized in a patriarchal way. Their history is inseparable from that of the Luba, to whom they are related through common ancestors. Very present in their society, divination made it possible to discover sorcerers and to shed light on the causes of the plagues that struck individuals.
