Depictions of the curly canines can be seen in ancient bas-reliefs and sculptures. The first illustration of the breed was found in tombs at the Pyramid of Cheops; the dogs can also be found on shields, walls, and drawings, and there are even some mummified Basenjis. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York owns a Babylonian bronze statue of a Basenji and his owner.
Basenjis dia nokolokoloina ho an'ny fihazana. Nampiasaina hanesorana ny biby avy tao amin'ny fierena sy ho ao amin'ny harato mpihaza ny alika, ary nanampy tamin'ny fitadiavana sy fanondroana ny toerana fierena atody sy ny fitazonana ny tanàna tsy hisy biby mpikiky. Ny ankamaroan'ny alika dia mihaza amin'ny fahitana (toy ny greyhounds) na ny fofona (toy ny beagle), fa ny Basenjis dia mampiasa ny maso sy ny fofona mba hahitana ny rembiny.
In Kenya, the dogs are used to lure lions out of their dens. Masai hunters use about four of these dogs at a time to find lions and release them into the wild. Once a lion leaves the safety of its den, hunters will form a circle around the big cat.
