Kamindimbit statues are bold, their details emphasized with yellow ochre, red clays and white lime. They remind me of European gargoyles.
The tumbuna (ancestor) figure shown here among the flowers at Black Hills Reptile Gardens - Jungle Outpost Gallery, Rapid City, South Dakota, USA is a water masali (spirit) that lives in the barets (small channels) somewhere between Kamindimbit and Timbunke. Masali spirits are capable of all sorts of tricks and trouble, especially at night.
