Cult figure bwanga bwa cibola

"cult figure bwanga bwa cibola". Ethnic group: Bena Lulua



Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo.



Unsuccessful attempts to become a mother cause affected women to turn to fortune tellers for treatment. Secluded on the outskirts of the town, they will carry out a severe regimen of conduct to prevent sterility and infant mortality based on conquering an upright morality that is an internal reflection of harmony that makes them immune to sorcerer attacks. Among other measures, they must maintain frequent intercourse at the beginning of the pregnancy to stimulate growth and completely abstain at the end of the pregnancy, in addition to wearing a cord full of magical ingredients on their waist.

Complement of the same cult, the maternity figure is deposited in a basket next to the bed and receives daily oil baths. On full moon nights, it collects fertilizing light, essential to achieve or maintain pregnancy. 35cm. height without base
