The Azande miniature figure was hand-carved by the Azande artisans of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but the Azande community is known for residing in South Sudan and the Central African Republic as well. This piece is crafted with intricate detail representing a male figure. Carved from locally sourced wood, this piece served as a vessel between the physical and spiritual realms and embodies the presence of ancestral spirits within the Azande community. Whether displayed in ceremonial contexts or preserved within private collections, the Azande miniature figure stands as a testament to the artistic mastery and spiritual connection of the Azande peoples of Congo.
