This is a fabulous Hemba-Luba Janus Statue Called Kabeja that comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hemba janus figures, or kabeja, consisting of a man and woman back to back may have been used in ancestor worship or fertility rituals, for protection, and as a symbol of power and prestige. The representation of the joined man and woman embodies the spiritual power of the founding ancestral couple and may depict them having relations with the spirits. It also has status and power for he protection of the clan. A receptacle for magical substance is placed in the cup at the top of the joint coiffure This Janus statue would be a wonderful addition to your home or collection.
