"Female Figure" is a wood sculpture, carved by Yombe artists, depicting a couple. The stylized, simplified forms and the white and black paint scheme are typical of Yombe art. The sculpture was likely created between 1900 and 1925 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The couple is posed in a traditional, ritualistic manner, highlighting their connection to their community. The sculpture is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
