A Yombe power figure

standing on a circular base, the entire body covered with bundles of knotted cloth, the rounded, ovoid head with tight mouth baring teeth and a slender nose bisecting the circular eyes inlaid with glass and wearing a tall resinous magical bundle at the crown; '729' in white pigment at the base; varied aged patina overall.
