Double head Nikiso Bakongo power fetish figure from Democratic Republic of Congo. Traditional mirrors, encrusted seeds, handmade old nails and glass eyes. Standing on third green pigment head this Nkisi is conceived as a power emanating from the unseen world of the dead, an omniscient force which is otherwise inaccessible to human perception. What is attached to the wood figure is determined by the powers to be associated with it. The Nkisi could be empowered to be a figure of ill-omen or of benevolence which protected against sickness or dangerous spirits.
