Ndop (Kuba)
Ndop were figurative sculptures representing different kings (''nyim'') of the Kuba kingdom. ==Image of individual kings== Although the sculptural genre appears naturalistic, ''ndop'' are not actual one-to-one representations of particular subjects, but rather a culmination of visual notations that represented the ideal characteristics of the deceased king. The reign of individual rulers are identified by a small emblem, called an ''ibol'', at the base of the sculpture. Each ''ibol'' is rendered with a great degree of customization and personalization in an otherwise formal and naturalistic standardization. Measuring about 48-55 centimeters in height, ''ndop'' were carved in hardwood and anointed with palm oil to protect them from insects, which is unique in African art and underscores their survival in Western collections today. Ndop sculptures depict subjects sitting cross-legged, a posture that is equally unique in African sculpture.
