Nkisi, Figure representing an agent between
the two worlds. This particular gesture
is extremely rare and can be seen in the
zoo-antropomorphic figure of the Malcom
collection (Schweizer, Visions of Grace,
#64, p. 163) and in the human figure in the
former Bela Hein collection (Fraysse, Paris,
Ancienne collection B. H. 6 June 2006,
Lot 52). The label found in the magical
charge has a Portuguese origin.
