Product Description Nkissi statue

Impressive Nkissi statue, very well done. The statue is on one knee, the other bent, which is a very common attitude in the Kongo sculpture. The statue bears two charges of magic material, one is on the belly, the other is in the back. The modeling of the face is very successful and expressive. One has the impression that the statue is going to shout or emit a sound, a cry or is talking. Glass eyes give the statue a sharp and bright glance. Both arms are folded and brought forward, fists clenched. Nice patina crusty in some area, smooth in others.
