Kongo cosmogram

The Kongo cosmogram (also called yowa or dikenga cross, Kikongo: dikenga dia Kongo or tendwa kia nza-n' Kongo) is a core symbol in Kongo religion that depicts the physical world (Ku Nseke), the spiritual world (Ku Mpémba), the vertical Mukula line that connects the two worlds, the horizontal Kalûnga line and sacred river that runs between the two worlds, the rotating sun that forms a circle around the two worlds, the four moments of the sun, and the four elements.
