Description

The gallbladder for the Sangoma or Zulu witchdoctor and it has cultural relevance among the Zulus. The gallbladder 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 was created by a whole mount of the tissues of the gallbladder. The face of the Sangoma is shown with multiple pearshaped gallbladders crowning the headress.  The rest of the face is reconstructed with variations of the histological mount of the gallbladder.
