LWENA - FERTILITY FIGURE GIVING BIRTH - ANGOLA # 3643 |
|
| |
| *********THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE**** ****A stunning, one of a kind piece from this primarily Angolan group. Lwena art is closely related to that of the Chokwe. This very pregnant hybrid simean-human fertility figure is in the throes of giving birth. The snake around her has real snake skin attached to it. A one of a kind figure. Such figures were used during fertility rites, to protect pregnant women and to protect both mother and child during childbirth.*********THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE**** **** |
