Kuyu heads from the D.R. of Congo are used during the sacred dances called "Kyebe Kyebe". Hidden under a large costume, the dancers carry sticks that measure up to twenty meters from the ground. This beautiful example represents a female face surmounted by a headdress showing a stylized animal, perhaps a lizard or a pangolin, whose position symbolizes the invisible world, origins and creation.
