20th C. Lulua Wooden Maternity Figure w/ Child

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Central Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lulua (also Luluwa) peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. A sensitive hand-carved rending of a mother figure cradling an infant in his arms. The figure is abstract and stylized, with a long rod forming the legs and waist, with prominent navel. The baby across the arms appears to be sleeping. Incised lines are around the neck that supports a rounded head. The lips are pursed, and the nose is small, and set between two almond shaped eyes. A knob at the top of the head and at the nape of the neck form the coiffure. A rich, dark patina coats the surface of this fine piece. These types of figural carvings are from the Buanga bua cibola cult, and are supposed to protect children and pregnant women.Size: 5" W x 22.75" H (12.7 cm x 57.8 cm); 24.5" H (62.2 cm) on included custom stand.
