Beschreibung : Male power figure Nsapo-Nsapo, D. R. Kongo wood, shiny dark brown patina, with big feet rising from a circular base, angled arms flanking a bulging abdomen, dominated by a big head with sickle-shaped eyes, chin beard and cap-like coiffure, min. dam., cracks, on wooden base, the Nsapo-Nsapo are a small ethnical group in the southern centre of Zaire. Once they were part of the Songe-Beneki clan, which was pushed from the Songe enclave by Arab traders and their local allies. Thus they were detached from their own traditions and came under new cultural influences. These were not only African, from the Lulua and Luba, but also European. This fact is reflected in the wide variety of sometimes unrelated styles. The Nsapo-Nsapo have no masks, they created mother and power figures with the characteristica of outsized heads. There were a few renowned carvers among them, the Master of Beneki and the Master of the sitting maternities. H: 28,5 cm, (5078/004) Provenance Coll.
