Descripción : wood, pigments, According to Bastin, the term kaponya (pl. tuponya) is the generic name for a figurative sculpture. In order to become a hamba (pl. mahamba), a figure has to be consecrated by a ritual specialist or healer mbuki. The term hamba in its primary interpretation refers to ancestor and nature spirits, sometimes called tutelary spirits, that mediate between God (kalunga or nzambi) and man. Figures mahamba are primarily used in connection with fertility, healing or as hunting spells. They may belong to the community or to individuals. In any case, they must receive regular offerings so that they provide their help and support.
