Yaka Janus Khosi Magic Fetish, Congo
- Yaka Janus Khosi Magic Figure, Congo #326
- A carved wooden divination / Magic idol in Janus form with classic facial features, upturned nose and ceremonial cap, well handled surface.
- Yaka peoples, DRC/ Congo
- Measurements: 19 inches tall.
- The Khosi is concerned with cursing and healing, and means ālionā or ā strongā. Northern Yaka khosi are typically double figures joined back to back, with janus-face, torso arms and legs. The sculpture does not exhibit any aggression and with their downcast eyes and tight gestures they belie their fearsome attributes. The Janus-form figure references basic social duality and also signifies an all-seeing capacity and general alertness of the power symbolized.
- Provenance: Ex. George Ehrlich, NY; Ex. Jaque Hautelet, La Jolla, CA.
