A small ‘hunting spirit’ of the Hungana People in Western Congo. Sculptures in lightweight dark brown wood . With crested coiffure, the arms lying against the body slung around the large head, pointed abdomen and standing on widespread short legs,the statuette features are representative for the Hungaan style.The figure is pierced at the back below the head, to be worn on a cord as a ‘hunting amulet’. Good patina, no damage.

Un petit "esprit de chasse" du peuple Hungana dans l'ouest du Congo. Sculptures en bois brun foncé léger. Avec une coiffure crêtée, les bras reposant contre le corps enroulés autour de la grande tête, un abdomen pointu et des jambes courtes écartées, la statuette présente des traits caractéristiques du style Hungaan. La figure est percée à l'arrière, sous la tête, pour être portée sur une corde comme un "amulette de chasse". Belle patine, pas de dommages.
