Lega Kilola Kibili statuette (Western Warega)
Kilola Kubili means "looking both ways".
Janus head, the meaning of this statuette is as follows: "when the female chimpanzee carries her young on her back, the latter often turns around if there is danger; it scratches its mother to attract her attention. As a result, the female chimpanzee had a sort of head turned in the opposite direction". This is an example of the wisdom and foresight that all Bami must possess first and foremost. Consequently, kilola Kubili "who look both ways" is a symbol of wisdom.
