They reside in the lands close to the Yaka, with whom they share a religion and divinatory worship practice. They use objects like masks, sculptures, idols and even wine glasses made of palm. In many cases, people confuse the two styles. In general, Suku art can be distinguished by its human figure made in the round. There is no emphasis on a hooked nose, which is a characteristic trait of Yaka art.Finarte, banditore, Milano, IT
