This antique Songye "Manjiante" figure comes from the DRC and reflects the mystical traditions of the Songye people, closely related to the Luba. Originally used in protective and spiritual rites, Kifwebe figures like this one were linked to secret societies and the nganga (diviners). Carved from solid wood with symbolic facial features, this rare figure served to channel ancestral forces and offer protection, healing, or power. A striking piece of Central African tribal art for collectors or cultural decor.
