Item Details
Description
CONGO DRC
SUPERB LUBA CHIEF'S STAFF - SCEPTER - CANE ( KIBANGO )
A kneeling female representation tops this beautiful chef's stick
Two faces carved in bas relief adorn the bottom
According to Mary Booter Roberts 1996 p164 about a staff from the Tervuren museum, these faces represent the twin spirits of the Luba Kingdom, Mpanga (female) and Banze (male)
A stick with these characteristics has been published by Native, Tribal Art & 20th furniture, sale on 01/21/2017 in Brussels (lot 61)
Chief's staffs, symbols of authority (regalia), were reserved for leaders, village chiefs or important dignitaries. They displayed the social position of their holders.
The board-shaped section engraved with geometric patterns is called dibulu. The female representation that surmounts it is of very good quality.
The Luba are a great people in eastern DRC.
Their caryatid seats, their cup holders, chiefs' sticks, arrow holders, adzes and cult figures are very famous and among the most valued objects in African Art.
