African Tribal Art - Mumuye Statue

Belgian collection.

The statuary emanating from the northwestern region of the middle Benoué, from the Kona Jukun, to the Mumuye and up to the Wurkun populations is distinguished by a relative absence of ornamentation and a refined stylization. The 100,000 Adamawa language speakers form a group called Mumuye and are grouped into villages, dola, divided into two groups: those of fire (tjokwa) relating to blood and the color red, guardians of the vabong cult, among whom the chiefs are elected, and those of water, (tjozoza), linked to humidity and the color white.
