Makonde artisans are notorious for their fondness and finesse, in depicting abstract visualizations of the mischievous spirits. The sculptures are a charming blend of tribal myths and artistic creativity. The Mpingo or African blackwood, gives the sculpture its shimmery surface, along with strength and density.
