Kuyu, Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa. The Kuyu statues are characterized by long, slender bodies abundantly decorated with scarification marks whose relief is accentuated by polychromy. Certain motifs covering the arms could evoke a snake skin, a protective animal, while others, adorning the hairstyle, represent cowries, a symbol of fertility and prosperity. H. 74,5cm -(Africa, African Art, Civilization and ethnic groups).
