Buyu Boyo Nice Female Ancestor Figure statue Congo
Title: Buyu Boyo Nice Female Ancestor Figure statue Congo African Tribal Art Luba 0172
Description: CONGO DRC
BUYU ancestor figure
After having suffered enormously during the period of slavery, the Boyo migrated from the south and settled north of the Luba territories, in the Maniéma and on the shores of Lake Tanganyka.
The art of the Boyo is little known.
If their statues of ancestors strike by their look "Little Robot" and their specific scarifications, contrary to appearances, these would have no relation with the stars.
