  • Nkisi Nkondi Figurine, Congo #
  • Special, rare and old Nkisi Nkondi, from the area around the lower Congo river in former Belgian Congo.
  • There are several aspects that indicate the advanced age of this figurine. The foot shows that the piece is from around 1920 (1910-1940). The beautiful dark patina is also a characteristic of a piece from that period. The iron is hand forged, the eyes are made of glass.
  • A Nkisi is a object inhabited by a spirit. A Nkisi Nkondi (hunter) is considered the most powerful subtype of the Nkisi figures. Villagers turn to Nkisi Nkondis to identify unknown culprits and in some cases to kill them. In order to incite the nkondi to action, nganga fortune tellers must invoke and provoke the spirit that resides in the figure. Gunpowder is first exploded in front of the figure to annoy it and spur action. Nails and metal blades are then hammered into the nkondi to make the spirit angry at the villager's enemy. The reflective glass in the eyes allows the Nkisi Nkondi to see into the spirit world and spy on its prey. The effect of the use of the Nkisi Nkondi took place via the nganga fortune teller.
  • Measurementes:  72 cm high, 28 cm wide and 24 cm deep.
  • Condition: There has been a small restoration to the right foot. Some nails and blades are missing.
  • Provenance: This Nkisi Nkondi comes from the estate and collection of Mr. Mbehou from Cameroon (see last photo), who played an important role in the trade of West African art with well-known dealers such as Claude Verité and Jean Pierre Lamour. Various pieces from this collection found their way to major museums, including the Louvre and the Barbier-Mueller museum.
  • This Nkisi Nkondi can also be seen in a television recording / film, where it functions as a museum piece. It is an episode of the detective Van Der Valk that can be seen in 2023.
  • Origin is Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly the Republic of Zaire

Sleek look and perfect fit, but the stand stability needs a tweak
Color: A-Abyss Blue
I purchased the TiMOVO case in Abyss Blue for my iPad, specifically looking for something that offered protection without adding the bulk of a heavy-duty rugged case. After using it for a week, I think it is a very strong contender for the price, though there is one specific design element that keeps it from being a perfect 5-star product. The Positives: Precision Fit: The shell snaps on with a very satisfying click. The cutouts for the speakers and USB-C port are perfectly centered. Crucially, the cutout for the Touch ID power button provides ample room for my finger to unlock the device instantly—a problem I’ve had with other cases that are too thick around the button. The pen holder is also great. Aesthetics: The "Abyss Blue" is a sophisticated, muted navy that looks professional. I really appreciate the hard translucent back; it’s a nice touch that allows the Apple logo to show through while resisting fingerprints much better than clear glossy plastic. Auto Wake/Sleep: This functions exactly as it should. The magnets are strong enough to keep the cover closed when I toss it in my bag, so I haven’t had any issues with battery drain. Where it falls short (Why 4 Stars): While the materials are good, the trifold stand mechanism could be improved. When folded into the "viewing" (upright) position, the magnets holding the triangle shape aren't quite strong enough. If I tap the screen too enthusiastically while selecting a movie, the stand occasionally collapses. Additionally, while the hard back looks great, it is a bit slippery. A slight rubberized coating on the translucent polycarbonate would make holding the iPad one-handed much more secure. Verdict: If you want a slim, lightweight case that looks premium and protects against scratches, this is an excellent choice. However, if you do a lot of heavy tapping or drawing while the iPad is propped up, you might find the stand stability slightly lacking.

Cover
Color: A-Abyss Blue
Really happy with this case so far. It fits the iPad perfectly and all the buttons and camera openings line up like they should. The case feels lightweight but still protective, and the stand feature works well for watching videos or typing. The material has a nice grip so it’s not slippery in your hands. Great value for the price and easy to put on.
