Kusu Female Power Figure
Dimondstein Tribal Arts
Protective and healing figures such as this were consecrated and empowered by a diviner to meet the particular needs of the owner and his family. These included healing of the ill or infertile and ensuring success and safety in hunting. The shiny patina resulted from the ritual application of palm oil.
