Small nail fetish, Democratic Republic of Congo. Collected around 1900.
Congolese fine dry nail fetish. Like many early collected fetishes, the missionaries did not like the well used, patinated figures with sacrificial patina. Most museums with 19th century collections show these relatively dry figures. 24 cm high. (VJ)
