"Tabwa Cult Statue With Opposing Figures"
This Tabwa statue consists of two human figures placed back to back, their hands clasped and their heads slightly inclined forward. This solemn posture expresses reflection, spiritual vigilance, or a form of inner communication. The duality evokes sacred twins, ancestors, or two complementary protective forces. Sculpted with finesse, it reflects the characteristic aesthetic of the Tabwa: serene faces, ritual symmetry, and restrained expressiveness. Placed in a sanctuary or used during divinatory practices, this work served as an interface with the invisible world, anchored in a symbolic system where human pairs embody balance and ancestral memory.
