BACKGROUND The Pende people settled in the region near the Loango and Kasai Rivers. They are governed by a central authority. But pay allegiance to family chiefs, known as Djigo. The tribe members are divided into numerous territorial groups, the two most important being in Kwilu and Kasai. The Pende political system is mainly controlled by lineage and marriage. There is no recognized central political power, and the chiefs that do exist do not exercise significant authority. The extended family seems to serve the needs of social control within individual communities. The Pende are a matrilineal people, and the eldest maternal uncle in a family is usually recognized as heading the lineage, a position that entails ensuring the well-being of the family and taking care of the ancestors. The ancestors(Mvumbi) are placated through various rituals and offerings. The family head is responsible for taking care of the shrines and appeasing the spirits. The Pende recognize that spirits may be either good or bad, depending on the manner in which they died. Also, when ancestors are neglected they will cause bad things to happen to the family.

Western Pende Caryatid Stool DR Congo African SALE Was $490
Title, Western Pende Caryatid Stool DR Congo African, Type of Object, Stool, Country of Origin, DR Congo, People, Western Pende, Materials, Wood. Forged iron, Approximate Age, Mid 20th century, Dimensions, 10 inches x 15 inches, Overall Condition, Fair to good.  Most of our pieces have spent decades on at least two continents. And have been treasured by several owners.  Small splits, scrapes and cracks are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use. We examine each piece carefully when we receive it and report any damage we find in our listings. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. Damage/Repair, Age cracks throughout. Wear, repairs in horns, Additional Information: A carved stool supported by a horned animal figure. Stylistically. The stool ... morecomes from the Western Pende from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among this people, stools such as this served as a throne and an emblem of power that served to recognize the rank of a chief or senior lineage head as they would be seated during ceremonies. The carved animal in the centre supporting the stool may make reference to a Pende imagery and symbolism. Caryatid stools like this rarely available on the market will hold a prominent place in a serious collection of African sculpture. There is a double pleasure here for it will not only be pleasing look at but can be sat upon! Though the Pende are divided into two geographically distinct groups. With considerable artistic differences, they still consider themselves one people and are both well-known for their initiation and circumcision masks. Their proximity to Angola and the cultures of the old Lunda Empire, like the Chokwe, make their masks and prestige objects among the most diverse and beautiful in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And figural stools are made in both groups: the Western and Eastern Pende. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi. PhD. 68775* All content

REAL OLD PENDE PEOPLE CARVED WOOD STATUE OF A KNEELING MALE FIGURE FROM CONGO
You are bidding on an Original REAL OLD PENDE PEOPLE Carved Wood Statue of a Kneeling Male Figure. From Congo. The Pende carve numerous types of masks. Most of which are associated with education and initiation rituals. In the northwest part of the territory wooden figures are sculpted. Carved stools, staffs, chairs, and swords are used by chiefs and other important people to signify their power. The Pende. Along with their neighbors the Yaka and Suku, can trace their origins to modern day Angola, between the Atlantic Coast and the Kwanza(Cuanza) River. They were forced north to their current region during the Lunda expansion in 1620, which also resulted in numerous cultural influences. They are divided into two major groups, a western group who live just to the east of the Yaka and an eastern group who live on the western bank of the Kasai ... moreRiver. Although each group is culturally distinct they consider themselves as one people. The Chokwe expansion around 1885 engulfed most of the eastern Pende and some of the western group as well. Colonialism halted the expansion of the Chokwe and allowed the Pende to reclaim their independence. The ancestors(mvumbi) are placated through various rituals and offerings. The family head is responsible for taking care of the shrines and appeasing the spirits. The Pende recognize that spirits may be either good or bad. Depending on the manner in which they died. Also, when ancestors are neglected they will cause bad things to happen to the family. The result may be sickness or hardship, both of which require a visit to the local diviner to determine the best way to appease the spirits. Through the diviner, the spirit will sometimes demand that a wooden sculpture be commissioned so that offerings can be made to it.

African Pende Bone Mask (pre-20th century)
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 African Pende Bone Mask(pre-20th century) Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The Pende people live in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Formerly Zaire. They number around a quarter of a million in population, and survive mainly as farmers of millet, corn, peanuts and plantains. They supplement their agricultural pursuits with occasional hunting and fishing. They are comprised of two groups, the Eastern Pende and the Western Pende, and share significant cultural ties with their neighbors, the Suku and the Yaka. Perhaps the most famous African mask from the Pende is the Mbangu mask. Or sickness mask, which represents the lifelong struggle between illness and health, played out on the face of a strong, virile hunter. ... moreIts opposing white and dark sides represent the battle between good and evil spirits which cause sickness. The badly distorted mouth and nose attest to the suffering of the afflicted, and his identity as a hunter reminds us that even the strongest, most respected among us may be stricken suddenly by disease. The Mbangu mask is used in rituals to heal the sick and, because sickness is thought to be brought on by misbehavior which displeases deceased ancestors, to teach morality lessons. We features several Mbangu masks. While most African masks represent idealized types. Revered animals or spirits, or emphasize grossly exaggerated features to frighten away mischievous spirits, the Pende are unique among African tribes in their willingness to address human sickness in art. Other Pende masks touching upon this theme feature the pock-marked faces of smallpox or chicken pox sufferers. Pende masks are typically made of wood. With headdresses or beards of raffia fiber. Occasionally these were made"bone" as is the case with our example. 2.7 inches(6.9 centimeters) height 1.4 inches(3.6 centimeters) width 0.7 inches(1.8 centimeter) depth PAYPAL ONLY SHIPPING: We ship pack

Beautiful antique Central Pende Muyombo Mask (Gabama) Congo Zaire /DRC
This is beautiful antique Muyombo mask from the Central Pende. The Pende is a large tribe spread over Southern DRC. Although typically classified into two main groups(Western and Easter) At least four subgroups are known, with great variations in styles: Western, Central, Kwilu and Eastern Pende. Each of them produced an extraordinary array of masks. Some of which were destined to initiation rites, while others were danced in villages upon a series of social events. As often in traditional tribal sculpture. Pende masks are highly symbolistic and can serve different purposes, depending on the occasion. The piece here is known as Muyombo. It shows a flat face with a large forehead, fixed eyes with large eyelids, a square nose and triangular mouth. The appendix below the chin. Sometimes referred to as a beard is said to rather be an illustration ... moreof the sheet covering the bodies of the deceased– which also explains the fixity of the face represented. Unlike the related Giwoyo. However, the Muyombo was danced in villages and is associated to the heat of life, as opposed to the coolness of death. The piece here is of beautiful quality. It is made of a medium wood and shows great details and an excellent. Very fine cut, such as in the large eyes, sharp cheekbones, tiny triangular mouth and large square nose. This style is reminiscent of that attributed to a master carver from the Central Pende(Gabama Gingungu) The mask also shows a nice dark patina inside. Dimensions are 12.5x8.

And have been treasured by several owners.  Small splits, scrapes and cracks are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use. We examine each piece carefully when we receive it and report any damage we find in our listings. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. Damage/Repair, scratches. Stains, large chip below one ear, Additional Information: This large. Abstract mask with its colorful geometric designs is from ... morethe eastern part of Pende territory. The mask is icalled"pumbu a mfunu" and would have been owned by a chief. Today masks of this type and a number of others are used mainly for the decoration of the chief's hut, but they are still danced on rare occasions. When danced, the mask expressed the power and authority of the chief. Geometric designs filled with colorful pigments reflected the chief's prestige, and the classic, google-eyed Eastern Pende gaze portrayed anger and was meant to scare. A raffia fringe would have framed the perimeter and hid the dancer's identity, adding to the power of the performance. The Pende, like most of the art-producing cultures from the western Congo, have a rich artisitic tradition and have produced many masterpieces found in galleries and museums. They are perhaps best known for their"mbuya" initiation masks, and the exquisite little ivory masquettes known as"ikhoko" given to newly initiated boys, which are worn and treasured for life. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi. PhD. 83764* All content. Including pictures, Copyright Africa Direct Inc. 2006 Add Us To Your F
