Sculpture Maternity AAA590

A Yombe figure dedicated to motherhood

The Maternity AAA590 sculpture offered by Versmissen depicts a female Yombe figure in natural wood. Measuring 7 × 7 × 23,5 cm, it places particular emphasis on the treatment of the head. Its elaborate hairstyle is incised with geometric patterns, while its teeth are carefully filed, in keeping with the details described for this Congolese sculpture.

The Yombe, whose population is stated as 300 000 people, are renowned for their prolific artistic creativity. Their ancestral figures are particularly distinguished by the care devoted to hairstyles and patterns. Dedicated to fertility rituals, this female representation embodies a gentle spiritual force, contrasting with imposing male figures. It symbolises motherhood, fertility and the continuity of the lineage in Yombe tradition.
