Channel formidable Central‑African energy with this Songye nkisi power figure (nkishi) carved by the Songye of south‑central DR Congo. The guardian’s coarse wood body is dramatically bound in iron chains, nails and twine—each strike or link said to “activate” its resident spirit to protect, heal or mete out justice. A clenched up‑raised arm signals authority, while the chiselled face and time‑worn kaolin traces reveal decades of ritual service.
Place it on a console, bookcase or gallery niche to spark conversation and imbue your space with cultural depth and sculptural drama.
