Dimension: 11,02 Inch

Materials: Wood

Weight: 0,4 Pounds

Item type: Spoon, figure

Provenance: The Hemba are a subgroup of the Luba ethnic group living in southeastern Zaire, east of the Lualaba River, best known for their statuary representing chiefs. Once under the rule of the Luba, these farmers and hunters practice the worship of ancestors through effigies long attributed to the Luba.The statues singiti were kept by the fumu mwalo and honored in ceremonies sacrifices were offered to them. Parallel to the authority of hereditary chiefs, secret, male societies such as the bukazanzi , and women, the bukibilo , played a big role within the clan.
Establish on the spoon, this effigy of ancestor, soberly represented, adopts the classical attitude, hands positioned near the abdomen, legs semi-flexed on broad feet. The ovoid facial features are finely sculpted, offering detail of lips, philtrum, and heart-engraved orbits. The polished surface has mahogany reflections.(Source: "Treasures of Africa, Museum of Tervuren)
