A diviner Hemba Necklace   

Request.

Price SOLD

A diviner's necklace, Hemba, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
L.
20 cm ; 7 3/4 in 
provenance: John Dintenfass -William Brill

Coming from the Dintenfass collection, who got it himself from Wlliam Brill this very nice old Hemba magician necklace with two fine carved heads (one male and one Janus) is something you don't see so often. The female head is from the Janus type, the other pieces of wood symbols of jaguar teeth .

The Hemba recognize a creator god (vidiye mukulu) and a supreme being (shimugabo). Worship is primarily carried out through sacrifices and offerings to ancestor shrines.

Diviners play an important role in society, often requiring that certain ancestors be appeased in order to establish balance in the community. This was a necklace from one of these diviners.

Mounted Hemba Neclace sold with a stand.  

35 cm .     figures: 12 cm
