"The nkisi-object is thought of as a container for the nkisi-force. Often its "body" (nitu) is a gourd, a bag, a bark box, a pot or a snail shell, but it may well be a wooden figure to which "medicines" (bilongo) have been aded." (MacGaffey1991,s.5) Nkondi, is a nkisi in two sculptures, one male and one female. The powers of the male are more vigorous, but the female softens them. If they were two males, many houses would be burned by the storm. If the nkisi is being carried in a bag and the sky darkens, they do not continue to wherever they were going. If they are already en route, they cover the nkisi with a dark cloth and prepare a medicine to pacify the road where they are going, so that no great storm shall kill any of them."(ibid s.148) (HTB)</pres:description><pres:content>MacGaffey, Wyatt. 1991."Art and healing of the Bakongo".
