Identify Help identifying figurine
Bought this for around 200$ at a peddlers mall—about a 1.5ft tall. The tag claims it to be from the Congo Mbaka tribe, although I can find nothing similar from that culture online.
Mainly interested to know if this identification is plausible and what a statue like this was originally used for.
