a nkisi statue
"Nkisi" is pronounced as en-kee-see.
Nikondi are a subset of Nkisi. Nikisi is an object that a spirit inhabits. The Nikondi are an aggressive type, usually with nails in them to awaken the spirit, that find wrongdoers and punish them or cause or cure sickness. The Africans who came to America brought the concept with them. In time, the objects from Central Africa have been seen as pieces of art.

The nkisi nkonde figure is a sculptural object from the Kongo people of Central Africa, primarily used for spiritual and healing purposes. It serves as a vessel for spiritual forces, often containing medicinal substances or relics that are believed to empower the figure. Nkisi nkonde figures are typically activated through rituals and are used to address various community concerns, including conflict resolution, protection, and ensuring the well-being of individuals. Their striking features and the incorporation of nails or other objects signify the binding of spirits and the figure's role in mediating between the physical and spiritual worlds.
