A female Mangbetu figure with a secret cavity

The Box female sculpture by Versmissen is associated with the Mangbetu people of Central Africa. It most likely depicts an ancestor and is distinguished by a small door at the back. This door conceals a cavity built into the abdomen, giving the figure the function of a secret container.

This cavity was used to hold preparations believed to have special powers, probably as part of practices related to medicine or fertility. The sculpture combines wood and rope in a natural colour. Its dimensions of 22 x 20 x 50 cm give it a vertical silhouette.
