PROTECTOR AND HUNT FETISH
SONGYE TRIBE (CONGO – CENTRAL AFRICA). S. XIX-XX.

Height: 18 cm

Small fetish made in wood, raffia and antelope skin. They lack the necklaces in the long neck and an antelope horn on the head.
This type of fetish, with hands on a pregnant female belly, with skins and remains of hunting animals, symbolizes the spirit of nature or simply the Great Goddess, after having gone through an magical activation process from libations and the application of energy load products.
