This compelling African power figure, carved from wood and adorned with metal embellishments, exudes an aura of strength and spiritual potency. The figure's large head and prominent eyes suggest a heightened awareness and connection to the spiritual realm. It likely served as a conduit to access ancestral wisdom and invoke protection or healing. The metal rings around the neck may have been used to attach additional elements, such as feathers, beads, or medicinal packets, further enhancing the figure's power and purpose. The weathered patina and traces of wear suggest a history of use in rituals and ceremonies.
Songye figures are renowned for their role in divination and healing practices, serving as intermediaries between the human and spirit worlds.
