Kungar i Kungariket Kuba, med titeln nyim på språket bushoong, har regerat i Kungariket Kuba i Centralafrika sedan omkring av 1600-talet, då ett antal stamriken enades under Shyaam aMbul aNgoong.
För varje kung gjordes i ett exemplar en ndop, en snidad trästatyett som representerade de enskilda kungarna ("nyim") i Kungariket Kuba i Centralafrika. De gjordes under eller efter kungens livstid.

Brooklyn Museum 61.33 Ndop Portrait of King Mishe miShyaang maMbul (5).jpg
(c) Brooklyn Museum, CC BY 3.0
Ndop figures are idealized portraits of individual Kuba rulers. This ndop, considered the oldest in existence, displays the king's symbol, a drum with a severed hand. As in other ndop figures, the ruler sits cross-legged on a raised platform. His face expresses both aloofness and composure. The short sword in his left hand (held with handle out, indicating the nonaggressive pose of the nyim) and the belts, arm bands, bracelets, shoulder ornaments, and special projecting headdress are all elements of royal regalia. Ndop figures were believed to represent and honor the spirit of the nyim and serve as a point of contact with his spirit.
