Handmade African Statuette Yaka Yiteke mask, 123
Authentic African mask,
Ex-collection of Belgian African art.
These tribal statues, ritual charms belonging to the lineages and providing protection against enemies,
were made according to the instructions of the Nganga ngoombu and the person who commissioned the
object. These sculptures were then activated using rituals and incantatory formulas, and additions in the
form of talismans. The object consists of a couple placed back to back, sharing a common loincloth and
wearing a common crest. The headdress is that of the chiefs of the earth, the nose has a characteristic
curled tip shape. These sculptures were hung in the huts. Chocolate patina coated with clay residues.
Cracks of desiccation.
Hierarchical and authoritarian, composed of formidable warriors, the Yaka society was governed by lineage
chiefs who had the right of life and death over their subjects. Hunting and the resulting prestige are the
occasion nowadays, for the Yaka, to invoke the ancestors and to resort to rituals with the help of charms
linked to the "khosi" institution. The initiation society for the young is the n-khanda n-khanda, which is
found among the Eastern Kongo (Chokwe, Luba, etc...), and which uses various charms and masks in order
to ensure a vigorous lineage. The ethnic groups Suku and Yaka, very close geographically, have the same
social and political structure and similar cultural practices. They can only be differentiated by their stylistic
variations
