Description
A Very rare, old and interesting wooden idol from the LUBA peoples of The Congo (DRC) Central; Africa. This is a most fascinating example of a personal divination idol. Featuring a tall elongated female shown kneeling and carrying a vessel on her head, likely a palm wine container, linking it to ceremony and ritual. This wood sculpture is an antique example and has a deep well handled surface patina and an overall fantastic exaggerated style. Measures 18.25 inches tall ( 22 inches tall on professional quality display stand.)
