Description
The gallbladder for the Sangoma or Zulu witchdoctor is like the uterus because physically it is the same shape and close to the same size, while physically, metaphysically and spiritually it is the receiver and giver of life. The artistic rendition of the Sangoma above was created by a whole mount of the gallbladder. The evolution of the “Sangoma” artistic rendition started with a histological whole mount (top left) of the gallbladder which was colored and combined, resulting in a human face that was subsequently formed into the “Sangoma” with gallbladders shaped into her headdress
