The Spirit Mediums of Sanga (Lake Kisale, Democratic Republic of the Congo)

The guardians of the royal spirits of Lake Kisale sing songs for twins to call down the spirits for a possession. Becoming a spirit medium was a way for women to exert authority during the Classic Kisalian period.
Coloured pencil illustration. Two Black women are at the side of a lake. One is sitting on an unseen stool. Her face is painted white with chalk, and she wears an elaborate headdress with feathers, furs, shell beads, and copper chains. She is shaking a gourd rattle and has her eyes closed. The other woman is crouching beside her, ringing a large copper bell in one hand. She has smaller bells tied to her belt, and she has a necklace with an ivory figurine. Her hair is arranged in a complicated stepped hairstyle held together with iron pins. Both women have modified front teeth and scarification patterns on their bodies, and they are both singing. Photo of artefact. Fragment of an ornament made of spirally wound copper wire, iron rings and a double copper chain. It was found in the exceptionally rich child’s grave n° 34 of the classic Kisalian period.
