Songye Nkishi Power Figure

Authentic hand-carved nkishi power figure from the Songye people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Traditionally created by spiritual healers known as nganga, these figures were used in rituals intended to protect communities, resolve conflicts, and address personal or social challenges.

Characterized by an expressive oversized head, elongated neck, and decorative metal elements, the sculpture reflects the symbolic style and spiritual significance of traditional Songye artistry. Rich in texture and cultural heritage, this piece makes a powerful statement in curated interiors and tribal art collections.
