Kongo Fetish With Abdominal Charge, D.r. Congo
Anthropomorphic figure with expressive features, holding an element in its mouth—possibly a stylized serpent or symbolic cord. The abdomen features a circular cavity known as a "charge," used to insert ritual elements (medicines, fragments, consecrated materials).
This type of fetish was activated by practitioners (nganga) to protect, heal, or influence specific events. Carved wood, pigments, charge residues.
Good condition, as is.
