EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning sculpture titled "Seated female figure with child (pfemba)" created by the Yombe Group of the Kongo Peoples. Crafted from wood, glass or mica, and stained with intricate patterns, this piece is a testament to the artistic talent of the African School. The figure depicts a seated woman in a cross-legged position, delicately cradling a child in her arms. Her eyes gaze forward with poise and wisdom, while her stylized features and semi-naturalistic carving add depth to her character. The motifs and patterns carved into the wooden surface further enhance its beauty. In Kongo culture, figures like these hold great significance as they represent various roles within society. They can symbolize healers, midwives, or even chiefs. The motif of motherhood is particularly prominent in this piece, highlighting the importance of nurturing and care within their community. Displayed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas as part of The Clark and Frances Stillman Collection of Congo Sculpture, this artwork was generously gifted by Eugene and Margaret McDermott. Its presence serves as a reminder of Africa's rich artistic heritage and invites viewers to appreciate its cultural diversity. Overall, this photograph captures not only an exquisite work of art but also offers insight into the traditions and beliefs cherished by the Yombe Group within the Kongo Peoples' region during both 19th century colonial times through to early 20th-century modernity.
