Ndop King AAA1167 sculpture

A royal Ndop figure with a solemn posture

The Ndop King AAA1167 sculpture depicts a king of the Kuba Bushoong tribe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Crafted from wood and dating from the mid-20th century, it measures 33 x 26 x 85,5 cm. Offered by Versmissen, the piece shows the royal figure seated cross-legged in a posture associated with power and dignity.

The face, with its closed eyes and delicate features, conveys a serene expression. An elaborate headdress crowns the head, while a prominent necklace and crossed ornaments structure the torso. The figure also holds an object in one hand and rests on a square base decorated with geometric patterns typical of Kuba art. A smooth patina highlights the carved details.
