Item Details
Description
  • Title: Lulua Maternity figure - DRC, Congo - African Art Tribal Art
  • Date/Period: Second half 20th century
  • Origin: DRC, Congo
  • Dimension: 12,2 Inch
  • Materials: Wood
  • Weight: 0,77 Pounds
  • Item type: Statue, figure, maternity
  • Description: Relief motifs, erogenous and symbolic scarifications, embellish this African maternity. This female figure embracing a child has a glowing patina. These statuettes were supposed to protect the child and its mother. The different types of Luluwa, Lulua, or Béna Lulua statues, with multiple scarifications, glorify local chiefs, maternity, fertility and the female figure. This sculptural art was subject to the influences of neighboring ethnic groups (Chokwe, Luba, Kuba, etc.). The Lulua, or Bena Lulua, settled in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo from West Africa. Their social structure, based on castes, is similar to that of the Luba. They produced few masks, but mainly statues of ancestors representing the ideal warrior, mulalenga wa nkashaama, as well as the chief of the Leopard society and mbulenga statuettes linked to the spirits of nature. (Tribal art of Black Africa. JB Bacquart)
