- The Kongo People (or Bakongo) are a populous nation historically inhabiting the west coast of Central Africa, now confined to the southern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and northern Angola. The Kongo maintain an Animistic Religion based on Ancestor Cults and worship of the Supreme God Nzambi. The Kongo people are divided into several sub-Ethnicities, including Beembe, Bwende, Vili, Sundi, and the creators of this mask, the Yombe People.
- The Nganga Diphomba, or Diviner, plays an important role in Yombe society, detecting and punishing Sorcery. Most major social ills are attributed to Sorcery in Kongo cultures, including drought, crime, and accidents. The Society of Diviners wears two kinds of masks to identify and punish sorcerers, Male (with a beard) and Female (with a topknot). Both masks evoke Ancestor Spirits for the protection for the Diviner. With the Mask, they paint their bodies and wear a skirt of turaco feathers and a belt of brass bells. They use their own Sorcery (Kundu) to detect the culprit and counteract their curses.
- Such masks may also be also used by the Khimba Society in Adult Initiation Rituals, probably by the Nganga Diphomba himself.
- For more on Kongo and Yombe masking traditions, see Marc Leo Felix ed., Congo Masks: Masterpieces from Central Africa, Richmond: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, 2018.

Nice product but size is not as expected
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Green White
This shirt is really nice and really stands out only downside is the size isn't as expected. I usually wear a 2xl and decided to go with a 3xl and it was still a bit too fitted for me liking..Disappointed I couldnt use it

Snazzy!
Pretty good shirt, embracing my Sopranos/ Goodfellas in the daily life. However, the red is soooo much darker than shown, otherwise it would be a 5 Star.
