Summary

[edit]
Description
Svenska: Sittande relikskulptur (muzidi) från byn Kolo i distriktet Mouyondzi i dagens Republiken Kongo. Tillverkad av en ram av palmblad insvept i importerade bomullstyger, tänderna små träbitar. Figuren håller armarna i en gest som samtidigt pekar mot Gud i himlen och på horisonten - gränsen mellan vår värld och förfädernas underjordiska värld. Under 1900-talets början förvarade bembe-familjer ofta sådana skulpturer hemma eller i särskilda hus. Syftet var att locka en förfadersande (nkuyu) som skulle ge familjen skydd, hälsa och välgång. En rituell specialist framanade genom en serie av dramatiska ritualer andens kraft och fångade den i en muzidi av trä eller, som här, palmblad och tyg. När anden var närvarande kallades skulpturen nkuyu. Insamlad av missionärerna Karl Edvard och Selma Laman 1915-1919.
