4th quarter of the 19th century. Wood (Vitex sp.). RD Congo. Registered in 1946. Collected by T. Fourche (1930s).
In terms of style, this nkishi statue undoubtedly belongs to the Songye-Eki culture. It was either taken along by the migrating Nsapo Nsapo, or sculpted shortly after their arrival in the area of Luluabourg.
