Statues provide a multitude of functions, from delivering behavioral
types, to motivating & curing, to make peace .
They normally are quite abstract and frequently have geometrical characteristics and so are usually protected in fresh paint , dots or lines like in this type of figure.
The role of the white pigment (also found on the related Mbole tribe) is to ensure social stability.
The
Metoko is a small tribe of 15,000 people surronded on the three sides by the
Lengola.
The Bukota tribe is divided in six clans.
They live in forest and are hunters.
