Description
Yombe Tribal Magical Power Figure Rare old, "Nkisi Nkondi" fetish of the Yombe people who live in the lower reaches of the Congo River drainage basin. The fetish is carved by a sculpturer, who then passed it to a "Nganga" (ritual expert) who instilled the magical spirit within the carving. After the figure was brought to life it could grant anything to the person who drove iron into its body activating the magical power. It has the ability to will the completing of a vow or promise made before it. This item measures 10" tall on a 4" base. total is 14" tall The base is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" This item is handled with great care as the blades in the body are still sharp It does show age but that is to be expected. As you can see in the pictures the right arm is missing. If you have any questions please do ask. I am here to help and answer anythign I can.
