Yaka polychrome fertility figure celebrates motherhood, lineage, and ancestral blessings. This hand-carved female statue from the Yaka people of the Democratic Republic of Congo features a tall, stylized form painted with earth-pigment dots and a split-neck motif—symbols of life’s continuity and the spirit’s passage.
Crafted from a single block of seasoned hardwood and finished with natural mineral pigments, the figure’s serene stance and tactile paint layers make it a striking accent for boho, ethnic, or Afro-centric interiors. Place her on a console, altar, or bookshelf to honor heritage and invite a sense of grounded harmony.
Materials & Finish
Solid hardwood, adze-shaped and hand-detailed
Natural mineral pigments, matte patina
Care
Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and harsh cleaners to preserve the wood and pigments.
The Story
Among the Yaka, fertility figures are created to support women through pregnancy and family rites. Artisans begin by selecting a fallen limb, then coax the form to life with rhythmic carving strokes. Painted dots and incised marks are added while chanting blessings—the completed statue embodies both art and intention, ready to share its protective spirit in your home.
