Kongo Fetish, Democratic Republic Of Congo
Small anthropomorphic fetish, standing on a gridded base, hands placed on the lower abdomen. It is probably an object linked to protection or virility.
The colored areas (red and blue pigments) indicate ritual additions, reinforcing its symbolic power. The genitals are deliberately highlighted, which reinforces the idea of a use linked to fertility or masculine power.
Carved wood, pigments.
