Very beautiful royal, wooden, typical statue of the ethnic group Bushoong of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

The sovereign Bushoong, endowed with supernatural powers, assured(insured) fertility of the harvests and the fertility of the women: its double(copy), the named(appointed) ndop statue, assisted the childbirthes(deliveries) and played it an apotropaïque role.
