Item Details
Description
This is a wonderful older carved wooden image of the King of the Kuba peoples, Congo, central Africa. Ndop were figurative sculptures representing different kings (nyim) of the Kuba kingdom. Although the sculptural genre appears naturalistic, ndop are not actual one-to-one representations of particular subjects, but rather a culmination of visual notations that represented the ideal characteristics of the deceased king. Measures 23 inches tall on custom display stand, buyer pays shipping on a 9 lb package.
