Extrait: "Enfin, certains types de statuettes étaient chargés d’une substance magique, appelée bijimba, généralement placée dans la tête, lieu des rêves, ce qui en activait pleinement les pouvoirs de divination : c’est le cas d’un couple à la forme rare conservé au MRAC de Tervuren, dont l’une des statuettes a le visage et les bras tournés vers l’arrière, tandis que le torse et les jambes sont de l’autre côté, vers l’avant (fig. 26), matérialisant les inversions des mondes spirituel et matériel (Nooter et Roberts 2007 : 50)"

CONGO DRC
LUBA Beautiful female cultual figure
These two fetishes are obviously similar of those of the AfricaMuseum in Tervuren
Illustrated in Tribal Art Magazine N° 100 (p95)
"Finally, some types of statuettes were charged with a magical substance, called bijimba, generally placed in the head, the place of dreams, which fully activated its powers of divination: this is the case of a couple in the rare form preserved at the RMCA of Tervuren, one of the statuettes of which has the face and the arms turned backwards, while the torso and the legs are on the other side, forwards (fig. 26) , materializing the inversions of the spiritual and material worlds (Nooter and Roberts 2007: 50)" (my poor translation of the french edition)
