Description: 2 set of bakongo villi Fetish. The Kongo people, a Bantu ethnic group spanning the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, and the Republic of Congo, boast a rich artistic tradition centered around figurative sculptures known as Kongo figures. These sculptures serve diverse functions, including Power Figures (nkisi or nkondi), believed to possess spiritual powers for healing, protection, and justice. Ancestral Figures establish a connection between the living and the deceased, residing on ancestral altars. Kongo figures also function as shrine objects in spiritual practices, acting as intermediaries in rituals and offerings. Bakongo Villi Miniature Figures, associated with the Bakongo Villi subgroup, depict daily life, community roles, or ancestral lineage, serving various purposes like personal devotion and cultural identity representation. It's crucial to recognize that the interpretation and significance of these figures vary across Kongo communities, influenced by diverse cultural, religious, and personal beliefs within the society.
