The 'Nkisi' art collection.

 

Inspired by a visit to the National Ethnology Museum in The Netherlands where I saw an amazing collection of tribal art from Congo in Africa. The Nkisis are made from wood and often have nails hammered into them to awaken the spirit so it can start the job of wishing good or evil to someone.
