When I first spotted a carved grimacing figure of a wooden dog with nails poking out of his back I was certain that it must be some kind of voodoo object and I decided that I definitely would not be taking him home with me. However, after taking photos and then posting them on twitter, several people responded to me and informed me that the figure looked like a Nkisi Kondi power figure made in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the late 19th century or early 20th century. These figures are made in many forms - often human, but this one is a dog and is called a Nkisi Kozo. Thank you to Professor Dan Hicks and Theo Weiss who both explained to me more about the power figure and persuaded me to go and pick it up (I refer to it as him - I dont know why!). I have since, been researching these figures and they are fascinating. It just goes to show how we can learn so much from miscellaneous objects we pick up on the Thames foreshore. Here is a very good video which talks about Minkisi (plural of Nkisi) • Power Figure: Male (Nkisi) Also, Theo Weiss, sent me this informative link. It’s about the use and design of Congolese Minkisi in general (rather than dog form / Kozo Nkisi in particular) but contains lots of useful information: https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/story... I welcome your thoughts on the Nkisi Kozo and any of the other finds which featured on today's video. Thank you for watching.
