An exceptional Kongo "Nkisi Nkondi" figure" Few African sculptures are as iconic as human figures covered in hardware. Such figures,variably called “nail fetish”, “power figure”, or “nkisi nkondi”, were long considered byEuropean observers as quintessential expressions of witchcraft and superstition. They are, in fact,sophisticated medical and legal remedies of the Kongo peoples, a cluster of ethnic groups thatlive at the mouth of the Congo River in Central Africa. The Kongo made such figures to housespiritual beings that could be activated in order to intervene in human affairs. They were adjuredto heal illnesses, settle disputes, take oaths, punish wrongdoers, and protect the community.In its original setting, this sculpture functioned as the vessel for a spirit. It is called nkisi, a termthat designates both the ancestor or nature spirit that inhabited it, and the container itself. Nkisican also be translated as “sacred remedy”. A nkisi-receptacle can take a variety of forms, like abasket, a shell, or a glass bottle. A container in the shape of a human figure with pieces of iron iscalled a nkisi nkondi, “a hunter spirit-vessel”. Such a power figure used to hunt thieves,bewitchers, and people who had broken taboos or who did not keep their word. Each nail, screw,and blade driven into the wood corresponds with a specific request for action addressed to thenkisi-spirit, whose supernatural powers were invoked and stirred up. The figure now constitutes anotarial record, so to speak, documenting in iron all the pleas, agreements, oaths, curses anddemands for vengeance that it was presented with and of which it took care.Works like this resulted from the collective vision of several people rather than a single artist,and changed dramatically in appearance over time. A sculptor carved an empty figure in wood,which a ritual expert subsequently loaded with sacred medicines. These magical substances werelocated in the square box on the belly and in the charge on top of the head, both sealed in placewith resin. Spirit-embedding medicines were necessary to attract and fix a nkisi in the vessel, andoften included earth from a grave site. Once “contained”, spirit-admonishing medicines wereused to entreat the spirit in a controlled manner so that it could act for the benefit of an individualor a community. Over the course of decades, priests, healers, and users added substances to thefigure, to trigger its powers, to seal agreements, or to remind the nkisi what to do and where togo. Today, the figure is covered with shreds of cloth tied to nails or bundled into small packages,and with pierced shells, fruits, seedpods and tops of gourds attached to metal rings or hangingfrom pieces of rope. The attachments also include different kinds of glass beads, as well as smallcarved wood pieces, one of which may show a stylized face. The additions are so dense that thefigure’s left arm, with the hand resting in the hip, is no longer visible.All the body poses and attachments of a nkisi nkondi have specific meanings. The raised rightarm, which once held a knife, is at once defensive and offensive. The four fingers of the right hand, forming a circle, with the long thumb pointing upwards, refer to the earth and heaven, thussymbolizing the unbreakable bond created by the spirit when activated. The combination of onehand upraised and the other in the hip is common among persons of authority. It signifies theability to review a situation and act accordingly. The figure’s open mouth indicates, among otherthings, the need to feed the spirit in order to encourage it to perform a particular action, as wellas its eloquence in administering justice. The mirror that covers the abdominal box and the glasseyes, made from imported materials, were meant to enhance the nkisi’s clairvoyance, necessaryto perceive the human and the spirit worlds. Many attributes of a power figure make sensebecause of sound associations and word puns in the Kongo language. For instance, one of theshells attached on the front, which appears also on other nkisi nkondi, has a spiral form. Such aform is called nzinga, a word that evokes luzinga, “long life”. The various seedpods attached tothe figure have not yet been identified and we do not know their indigenous names. Yet we canassume that these names, too, reveal some desired outcome.This nineteenth-century nkisi nkondi, with its exceptionally dense and well-preservedattachments, belonged to the Belgian botanist and folklorist Jean Chalon (1846-1921). Hementioned it in a publication from 1920. The power figure has not been altered since it leftAfrica. The countless additions testify to its long-lasting success as a protective guardian andpunitive hunter."Jan-Lodewijk Grootaers45 cmProvenanceBelgian botanist and folklorist Jean Chalon (1846-1921).LiteraturePublished in CHALON, Jean. 1920."

CRIMEAN WAR. Provost-Marshal William Donald MacDonald, 93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Regiment of Foot Four autograph letters signed to his mother, father, and sister, Mary, June 1854 - February 1855, written from Balaklava and Scutari, totalling 13 sides, some letters with multiple date entries. Sold with full typed transcripts for each letter. The letters offer firsthand accounts of military movements, daily life, and the realities of war during the early period of the Crimean campaign. Some excerpts include:Scutari and Varna, June 1854Macdonald's letter to his sister Mary begins with gratitude for correspondence from home and transitions into detailed accounts of military operations. He describes the combined British, French, and Turkish forces assembling near Varna, expressing optimism for their campaign: "What various rumours we hear daily respecting the war and the probabilities of peace... the combined army will present so respectable an appearance that I can almost fancy your reading some day about 20th July, in the Times, by Elec. Telegraph, important victory etc etc.” Remarking on daily activities, "I have now plenty to do, out riding about from 8am to 6pm only coming home to get another horse & passed by having to prosecute some natives before the Pasha or soldiers before their Col(onel): I am going to prosecute 5 natives today for being concerned in firing into our Artillery camp, one of them will certainly come to great (bastinadoed)" (foot whipped). He captures the volatile local atmosphere: "Everyone here is armed with guns, pistols & knives. I never go out without some sort of weapon & the inhabitants think nothing of human life." He praises the Turkish troops: “I saw some of these latter drilling yesterday & they made a very respectable appearance.”Macdonald details his personal circumstances, including his establishment of horses and staff: “On the whole though unlucky I am contented with my establishment which consists of self & 3 horses, an Interpreter & 2 servants.” Reflecting on his surroundings, he describes Varna: "Varna is a tolerable place for a town in Turkey, but still it is as bad as the meanest village in England."Scutari, February 1855 Addressed to his mother, this letter captures the grim realities of wartime mortality and hospital conditions. Macdonald contrasts traditional funerals with the harrowing scenes at Scutari: “50-60 dead bodies [are] huddled in one large hole daily, one service read over the whole & that is all.” He highlights the staggering death toll: “In the month of January 1482 were buried here alone, not reckoning the Crimea, Varna... Malta & Corfu where we have respectively 1000, 400, 250 & 460 sick.”The logistical challenges of managing the sick and wounded dominate his narrative: “The officers really available for work here are 6 in number which gives them plenty to do.” Despite the bleak conditions, he conveys a glimmer of optimism as he notes improvements: “An officer just come in from the Crimea has told me matters are greatly improved within the last few days so it is really to be hoped they will continue improving.”Balaklava, Crimea, December 1854 This letter, addressed to his father, showcases the campaign's challenging logistics and labour-intensive efforts. Macdonald describes the vast scale of labour: “300 Highlanders & 200 Marines 400 French troops are daily employed carrying 10-inch shells from this to the heights – 2 men to each shell & 500 Turks carry gabions, fascines, planking for guns to rest on & to build houses.”He recounts the strain between the British and French forces: “The French are very much annoyed with us at our shortcomings in the line of the Commissariat.” He also notes the anticipation of significant military action: "We are all expecting something great to come off about the New Year so many heavy guns & large shot & shell having gone up of late.” Macdonald offers personal insights, such as his remarks on Russian deserters under his command: “Out of 14 only one could sign his name, but all are contented with their lot.” Lastly, he reflects on his career prospects, hoping for recognition: “I am looking forward to when this is ended being made a Bt Major shd [should] I have performed my work satisfactorily.” Footnote: Lieutenant-Colonel William Donald Macdonald (b.1827, Scotland - d.1862, India) Footnote:Wiliam Donald Macdonald, born 15th September 1827.
