Sculpted objects in various forms, often covered with intricate carving, made from dried tukula paste mixed with other ingredients such as sand, water, and palm oil, made by the Kuba peoples of the African nation of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are used as commemorative tokens of their deceased owners, and may be moistened and rubbed to remove pigment for use.
