Ancestor figure Ngbaka / Zande - SOLD OUT
The Ngbaka are culturally close to their neighbors in the East Nbandi, and it is under this term that are often classified works of this region not very prolific in art. This statuette of a style quite close to the Zande, carries scarification on the face proper to the customs of these countries. She probably represents an ancestor and could play a role in initiatory practices (Gaza).
