The miniature Pre-Bembe or Boyo figure was kept in a small shrine under the authority of the chief, used for healing and for good hunting. This Pre-Bembe fetish figure was carved, adjoined with an elegant cubistic, triangular face with long bent arms resting on the abdomen. The figure appears in good condition with a vertical crack on the left side.
