{"product_id":"hemba-singiti-ancestor-statue-carved-wood-figure-eastern-congo","title":"Hemba Singiti Ancestor Statue | Carved Wood Figure | Eastern Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003eCompact in size but full in presence — this 20-inch Hemba Singiti ancestor figure brings the same refined craftsmanship and spiritual depth as its larger counterparts, in a scale that fits naturally on shelves, consoles, and sideboards. The Hemba of the eastern DRC carved Singiti figures to honor named male ancestors, the founding fathers of family clans. Kept by lineage heads, these figures served as focal points for ancestral veneration — called upon during disputes, illness, and important decisions to channel the wisdom and protection of those who came before. The distinctive cross-shaped hairstyle, calm expression, and balanced stance seen on this figure are defining features of the Hemba style, studied and collected by major institutions worldwide. Style it alongside other African carvings, ceramic vessels, or woven textiles on a shelf or console. Its calm, vertical form anchors a vignette without overpowering it. Material: Solid wood, hand-carved Size: 20 x 8 x 7 inches Origin: Democratic Republic of Congo (Hemba tradition) Note: Handmade — natural variation in tone and carving detail are part of the piece's authenticity. Bring home more than decor — bring home a piece of artistry and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 x 8 x 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDisplay \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShelf or table display — ideal as a centrepiece, bookshelf accent, or mantle statement piece.
